Tungsten products can be used for heating elements in vacuum furnaces that exceed the temperatures of molybdenum and tantalum as well as other heater applications. Tungsten has also gained wide acceptance as an essential material in electrical contacts, glass-to-metal seals, supports, and electrodes.
Main applications:
- Inert gas welding electrodes
- Metal evaporation work
- X-ray targets
- Windings and heating elements for electric furnaces
- Electroplating
