Related applications of tungsten rods
Tungsten rods are widely used in many fields, mainly including mining, aerospace and electronics.
Mining field
The application of tungsten rods in the mining field is mainly reflected in its high hardness and high density. Due to its wear resistance and tensile strength, tungsten rods are often used to manufacture milling cutters, gears, bearings, etc. on tunneling mechanisms.
Aerospace field
In the aerospace field, the high density and high melting point of tungsten rods make it an indispensable material. It is often used to manufacture high-temperature, high-compression gas engines and other components, and as a reflector material for aircraft 1. In addition, tungsten rods are also used to manufacture warheads in space-based kinetic energy weapon systems, using the earth's gravitational acceleration to achieve potential energy conversion and using the huge kinetic energy generated by the weapon hitting the target to destroy the target.
Electronic field
In the electronic field, tungsten rods are used to manufacture semiconductor materials, electrodes and emitters due to their good electrical conductivity and thermal stability. In addition, tungsten rods are also used for resistance welding machine electrodes and sputtering targets.
