You want it, we'll deliver
We have the following industry standard-complaint nozzles and electrodes in stock:
Electrodes made of tungsten-copper
During plasma spraying, metal- or ceramic powder is melted in a plasma arc and then propelled at high speed against the workpiece to be coated. In this way, it is possible to deposit impermeable, adherent layers on tools and various equipment components. When used in spraying guns, our electrodes have to be able to withstand temporary plasma temperatures of over 12,000°C.
This high stress is no problem for our tungsten-copper electrodes. The back-casting production process makes a perfect connection between the tungsten and copper. Our electrodes thus enable constant operating conditions for a long service life.
Your advantages at a glance:
High temperature
resistanceRadiation-free and environmentally friendly
Long service life
Good ignition capability
Optimal thermal conductivity
We would also be happy to supply you with semifinished products for electrodes made of back-cast tungsten-copper.
Environmentally friendly and high-performance
We use thorium-free plasma spray electrodes
made of tungsten-lanthanum. These electrodes are not only environmentally friendly, but high-performance as well.
The Institute for Physical Metallurgy and Materials Testing at the University of Leoben confirms that compared to electrodes containing thorium, electrodes made of tungsten-lanthanum boast:
- Good ignition properties
- Less wear
You can read the results for yourself in the scientific contribution from the University of Leoben titled "RM6 Substitution of Thoria Additions by Lanthanum-Oxide Doping in Electrodes for Atmospheric Plasma Spraying"
