TECHNICAL PRODUCT INFORMATION

Plated Tungsten-Rhenium Wire

Ultra-Fine Tungsten-Rhenium Wire with Precision Surface Engineering

Luma Wire Tech manufactures precision plated Tungsten-Rhenium wire for applications where exceptional mechanical performance must be combined with application-specific surface properties.

By combining the outstanding strength, ductility, and high-temperature stability of Tungsten-Rhenium (97/3) with advanced reel-to-reel plating, we enable engineers to tailor the wire’s electrical, mechanical, and surface characteristics without changing the base material.

Available in diameters from 5 to 200 microns, our plated Tungsten-Rhenium wires are manufactured in Sweden under ISO-certified processes and can be coated with gold, silver, palladium, platinum, nickel, copper, tin, or rhodium depending on the performance requirements of your application.
