Tungsten
- The highest melting point among other refractory metals - 3420 °С;
- High density – 19.3 g/cm3;- hardness (HV30 >460);
- Chemical stability: up to 400°Сin oxygen, up to 600°Сin hydrogen, up to 700°Сin ammonium and about 800°Сin carbon oxide;
- Creep resistance and long-term strength (much higher than that of molybdenum, tantalum, niobium at a sample temperature of about 1100 °С);
- Thermal conductivity and red hardness: once the full red heat is reached, the tungsten does not lose any robustness after cooling down;
-
Maximal operating temperature: in oxygen-free shielding and reducing the ambient temperature to 2600°С.
- As jig for high temperature hydrogen and vacuum furnaces;
- For cathode production: as the base for infusible welding electrodes;
- For glass production (fusible electrodes and tungsten stirrer);
- For pressing of hot metals;
- For production of heat resistive parts of space rockets;
- As shrouds to decrease radiation emission flow in nuclear energy etc.
Tungsten crucibles
Technical characteristics:
- High tungsten purity – above 99.95%;
- High density – 18.2 g/cm3;
- Surface roughness - Rz 6.3 max
Tungsten crucible is reliable and durable, has a high strength and elasticity, fit to withstand high temperatures in vacuum and inert gases (up to 2600°С).

Tungsten electric heaters
Among definite benefits of tungsten one can name high operating temperature (in comparison with composite materials), ability to maintain high temperatures while prolonged outgassing period (in time). The maximal operating temperature of the tungsten heater directly depends on thickness of its body plates and on chemical composition of the operating medium inside the furnace.
