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.
| Plating Material | Added Properties to Tungsten-Rhenium Wire |
|---|---|
| Gold | Excellent conductivity, corrosion resistance, stable electrical contacts, and oxidation protection. |
| Silver | Highest electrical conductivity and outstanding signal transmission performance. |
| Palladium | Enhanced wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and long-term electrical contact reliability. |
| Platinum | Exceptional chemical stability and reliable performance in harsh and high-temperature environments. |
| Nickel | Improved wear resistance and excellent adhesion for subsequent plating layers. |
| Copper | Improved electrical conductivity and a cost-effective conductive surface. |
| Tin | Excellent solderability for electronic assembly and interconnection applications. |
| Rhodium | Extremely hard surface with superior wear resistance and long-lasting electrical contacts. |
