buying tungsten wire

plante1999 - 10-4-2012 at 15:22

I am looking for 16/18 g wire (1.6 mm/ 1.2 mm) of tungsten. I want high temper CP wire(commercial pure) but hard temper / 3/4 temper W>90-Ni-Fe wire should do the job. It would be nice if you could send my ksi detail and price per 10 foots of wire in the u2u system.


Thanks!!!

http://electrontubestore.com carries tungsten wire, but only up to 0.9 mm. And they're in Quebec.

It's a good source, full of all sorts of uncommon materials used in vacuum devices. I got some Kovar alloy wire and some strip molybdenum from them last year.
