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
