Composition: W Form: Insulated Wire Material: Tungsten CAS Number: 7440-33-7 Commodity: Metals Purity: 99.9% Conductor Diameter: 0.076mm Insulation: Nylon Insulation Thickness: 0.012mm
Nylon-Tungsten Insulated Wire integrates the exceptional tensile strength and thermal resistance of tungsten with a durable nylon insulating layer, producing a conductor capable of withstanding extreme mechanical and environmental stress. The tungsten core offers outstanding performance in high-temperature and high-vacuum conditions, while the nylon sheath protects against abrasion, moisture, and chemical attack. Industries such as aerospace propulsion, defense electronics, and nuclear engineering employ this wire in sensor leads, power transmission in harsh environments, and instrumentation in vacuum chambers. Specific applications include wiring for plasma diagnostic systems, propulsion test equipment, and high-reliability connectors in research reactors. In scientific research, it supports development of high-performance electronics for extreme conditions and facilitates testing of thermal-electrical coupling in advanced materials. Its balance of mechanical durability, insulation integrity, and extreme-environment performance ensures its utility in the most demanding industrial and research scenarios.
