Application Areas for Tungsten-Rhenium Wires

Our Tungsten-Rhenium wires (5–50 µm) are trusted across a wide range of industries:

Particle Accelerators & Detector Technology, Tungsten-Rhenium wires is widely used in detector chambers and nuclear research, where wires must remain stable under high voltage and radiation.
Medical Devices, ultra-fine W-Re wires provide high strength at small diameters, supporting guide wires, electrodes, and diagnostic devices.
Aerospace & Space Applications, W-Re wire withstands extreme thermal cycling and mechanical stress, ideal for mission-critical components.
Electronics & Semiconductors, probe needles, sensors, and advanced connectors rely on Tungsten-Rhenium wires for durability and conductivity.
Research & Scientific Instrumentation,Tungsten-Rhenium wires are essential in experiments requiring wires that maintain stability under high temperatures and mechanical strain.

Surface Treatments and Coatings

We offer multiple finishing and plating options of our Tungsten-Rhenium wires to meet specific industry requirements:

Electroetching and electropolishing for smooth surfaces
Gold plating for enhanced conductivity and oxidation resistance

Advantages of Tungsten-Rhenium Wires Compared to Pure Tungsten Wires

By alloying tungsten with rhenium, the wire gains properties that make it far more suitable for advanced applications than pure tungsten alone. This combination is why leading industries choose W-Re when reliability is mission-critical.

Superior tensile strength – higher breaking point enables ultra-fine diameters without loss of performance.
Greater ductility – reduces brittleness, making the wire easier to work with in demanding applications.
Higher electrical resistance – ideal for detector technology, electronics, and high-voltage environments.
Improved electron work function – enhances performance in scientific and semiconductor applications.
Better stability under stress – long-term creep resistance ensures durability in extreme conditions.
