1. Tungsten Rhenium Wire Overview
Tungsten rhenium wire is a refractory metal alloy wire designed for high-temperature measurement applications.
By adding rhenium to tungsten, the alloy offers improved ductility and thermoelectric characteristics compared with pure tungsten.
W-Re alloy wires are commonly used as thermoelements in high-temperature thermocouples, where accurate temperature measurement is required under controlled atmospheric conditions.
Our tungsten rhenium wire is available in different specifications to meet the requirements of temperature sensor manufacturers, industrial instrument suppliers, and high-temperature equipment manufacturers.
We can supply individual wires or matched positive and negative thermoelement pairs according to customer specifications.
