REFRACTORY METAL SINGLE CRYSTALS

Tungsten

Applied Physics Technologies offers both single crystal tungsten wire and single crystal tungsten rod. Diameters range from 0.12 mm (etched wire) to 2.5 mm (as-refined rods). Orientations offered include (100), (111), (210) and (310).

 

Single crystal tungsten wire is zone refined and axially oriented to the specified crystal plane within 2°. The refining process purifies and reduces impurities to less than 30 parts per million by weight. Standard wire sizes are centerless ground, electrochemically etched to the specified diameter, +/- .0003", and then cut to the specified length +/- 5%.

Other Refractory Metals

Many other refractory elements can be refined in our facilities. These are also purified during the refining process and oriented single crystal rods are produced. We have a ready supply of seed crystals of common orientation and can  custom make virtually any orientation. Common metals include: Mo, Re, Ir, Ta, Hc, Pt, Ni, etc.
