Pure Tungsten Rod

Pure tungsten rods are made from pure tungsten powder, which is usually quite high in purity, 99.95%. Tungsten metal can be processed by forging, extrusion, drawing, rolling, etc. Pure tungsten ingots use tungsten powder as raw material, and pure tungsten ingots made by powder metallurgy are the raw materials for processing tungsten rods. Tungsten rods have excellent heat resistance, heat emission, strength and hardness. Therefore, they are used in various applications, valve anchors such as discharge electrodes, tungsten inert gas (TIG) rods, probe needles.
