Let’s get into what makes our platinum tungsten wire so special. It’s an alloy of mostly platinum—90-95%—with a strategic 5-10% tungsten to boost its strength and thermal stability. This gives it a tensile strength of 50-70 ksi and electrical conductivity of 15-20% IACS, making it ideal for heating elements that need to balance power and durability. With a melting point around 1770°C, it thrives in extreme heat where other materials would buckle. It’s also corrosion-resistant, standing up to oxidative atmospheres, acids, and industrial gases without breaking down. Whether it’s powering a high-temperature furnace or a precision oven, our wire ensures consistent performance and long service life.
