High-Temperature Ultra-Dense Tungsten Rods
- Maximum Temperature: 2,300° F
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell C35 (Hard)
- Temper Rating: Not Rated
Ultra dense for use as electrodes, furnace support pillars, and screws and bolts, these chemically pure tungsten rods withstand greater heat than other high-temperature metal, such as molybdenum. You can also use them in applications where voltage increases may cause temperature spikes that other metal can’t handle. These rods won’t deform in high heat, so they last longer than other metal. However, they’re harder to machine than more ductile tungsten alloys. These rods won’t corrode from chemicals or weather.
