Tungsten Lanthanum / Tungsten Lanthanide

Tungsten Lanthanum / Tungsten Lanthanide Properties and Appearance

Tungsten Lanthanum Alloy (W-La) is also known as Lanthanum Oxide-Doped Tungsten and Tungsten Lanthanide, Tungsten Lanthanum comprises tungsten metal together with a small quantity <=2% of Lanthanum Oxide La₂O₃. The result is improved creep resistance and increased recrystallization temperature. Tungsten Lanthanum machines better than pure tungsten. Its useful properties include a high melting point, high thermal stability, good electrical / thermal conductivity and a low thermal expansion coefficient.

Applications

  • Electrodes for plasma coating and electric resistance welding
  • TIG electrodes for shield gas and plasma welding
  • Evaporating equipment
  • Anodes / cathodes for thermionic tubes
  • Semi-conductor blanks
  • Power supply wires
