Tungsten Rod

Email us

Pure tungsten rod is produced from tungsten powder, the purity is usually quite high, 99.95%. Tungsten could be worked by forging, drawing, extruding, and rolling. Pure tungsten ingot, which is made from tungsten powder by powder metallurgy, is the raw product to process tungsten rods & bars.

W rods can be used to make emission cathodes, high-temperature forming rods, support wires, printer pins, various electrodes, heating elements of quartz furnaces, etc. Tungsten rods are also engaged in rockets, satellites, airplanes, ships, etc. We manufacture rods & bars from particularly fine-grained materials, which guarantees good machinability.

Specifications for our W rods

We place the emphasis on absolute precision during the production of our tungsten rods. With our many years of experience in the field of refractory metals, even tungsten rods of diameters of up to 100mm are available. We insist on particularly low tolerances in terms of both diameter and roundness and guarantee rods of exceptional straightness.

In addition to pure tungsten rods, we also provide tungsten alloy and tungsten lanthanum rods. To get the fastest quote for tungsten rods, we need the material, size, tolerance, surface requirements, and quantity. We provide tungsten bars with various dimensions, please send your inquiry to sales@edge-techind.com.

Applications of Tungsten Rods and Bars

-Electrical and Electronics: Due to its high melting point and excellent electrical conductivity, it can be used as electrodes in welding applications. Used as high-voltage electrical contacts in electrical discharge machining (EDM) and electrical switches.
-Aerospace: Due to its high density and strength-to-weight ratio, it can be used in aerospace components such as counterweights and control surfaces.
-Medical: Due to its ability to attenuate radiation, tungsten can be used in radiation shielding applications, including X-ray equipment and radiotherapy machines.
-Manufacturing: Used as a tool material for machining, milling, and drilling applications that require high-density materials with excellent hardness and wear resistance.
-Defense: Due to its density and hardness, tungsten can be used in armor-piercing projectiles and kinetic penetrators for military applications.
-Sports Equipment: Due to its high density, tungsten allows for compact and precise designs, so it can be used in darts, fishing sinkers, and golf club heads.
-Chemical Industry: Due to its corrosion and high-temperature resistance, tungsten can be used in chemical processing equipment such as crucibles, reaction vessels, and sputtering targets.
-High temperature furnace: Due to its high melting point, tungsten metal has excellent high-temperature resistance, so it can be used in various high-temperature furnaces. But it is only suitable for vacuum or inert environment. When the temperature exceeds 400℃, the air environment will cause severe oxidation of tungsten metal.
