Tungsten/Rhenium Alloy Spooled Wire (W95/Re5)

Tungsten Rhenium Alloy Spooled Wire (W95/Re5) leverages tungsten’s extremely high melting point and mechanical strength with a 5% rhenium addition to improve ductility, creep resistance, and wire drawability. This alloy is supplied in spooled form, making it adaptable to continuous industrial and research applications requiring precise lengths of high-performance wire. Industries including aerospace, defense, and electronics rely on W95/Re5 wire for thermocouples, electron emitters, and high-temperature furnace elements. Specific applications include cathodes in vacuum tubes, aerospace thermocouples for propulsion monitoring, and medical device filaments. In research, W95/Re5 wires are studied for electron emission efficiency, stress rupture behavior, and phase stability under long-term thermal cycling. The combination of rhenium-toughened ductility with tungsten’s inherent resilience ensures widespread utility in aerospace propulsion, defense electronics, and high-vacuum scientific instrumentation.
