Tungsten Bars and Rods are primarily made up of nearly pure tungsten, often boasting a purity level of over 99.95%, with small amounts of iron, nickel, or cobalt added to improve machinability and structural integrity. On a mechanical level, tungsten showcases an incredibly high melting point of 3422°C, a remarkable density of 19.25 g/cm³, tensile strength reaching up to 1510 MPa, and impressive hardness. This unique blend of high strength, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance makes tungsten bars and rods perfect for applications that demand durability in extreme conditions, precision machining, and long-lasting dimensional stability.

Tungsten rods are not highly susceptible to galvanic corrosion because they are highly resistant to corrosion in most environments. However, if paired with more reactive metals, galvanic corrosion may occur.
Yes, Tungsten bars can be welded using specific techniques such as TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. However, proper preparation and high heat are required due to Tungsten's high melting point.
Maintain tungsten rods by storing them in a dry, clean area to prevent oxidation. Avoid bending or exposing them to extreme heat. Regularly inspect for damage and handle with care.
