What's Tungsten Needle Electrode?
1.What's Tungsten Needle Electrode?
Tungsten needle electrode is a needle-shaped functional electrode manufactured from high-purity tungsten or tungsten-based alloys. It is produced through electrochemical polishing or precision mechanical grinding. The tip can be processed into micron-scale or even submicron-scale sharp structures, providing highly concentrated electric field intensity for precise current conduction and directional discharge in micro-scale areas. Tungsten needle electrode is widely used in Micro-TIG welding and minimally invasive medical electrosurgery.
2.Advantages of CTIA's Tungsten Needle Electrode
(1) Micron-Level Tip Control: High-precision electrochemical polishing and precision grinding processes ensure consistent tip geometry and sharpness, with tip diameters ranging from 0.1 to 50 μm.
(2) Highly Focused Arc: The needle-shaped structure increases electric field concentration at the tip, generating stable and concentrated micro-arcs.
(3) Stable Geometry at High Temperature: Manufactured from high-purity tungsten with purity of ≥99.95%, the tip maintains its shape and resists blunting or deformation under micro-arc conditions.
(4) Excellent Mechanical Properties: With a density of approximately 19.3 g/cm3, tungsten needle electrode offers high rigidity, wear resistance, and resistance to bending or damage during precision applications.
3.Applications of CTIA's Tungsten Needle Electrode
(1) Industrial TIG Welding: Used for precision welding and repair of integrated circuit leads, ultrafine thermocouples, and miniature molds. Rod-shaped tungsten needle electrode is used for manual TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, while pointed-tip designs are used for semiconductor probe testing.
(2) Minimally Invasive Medical Surgery: Used with high-frequency electrosurgical devices. Sharp tips, high-temperature-resistant insulation coatings, and anti-adhesion characteristics enable precise cutting and effective coagulation. Applications include thyroid surgery, general surgery, neurosurgery, cosmetic surgery, and other minimally invasive or open surgical procedures.
