Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 Thoriated tungsten wires and rods are intended for use as directly heated cathodes for thermionic emission in vacuum tubes. Thoriated tungsten rods also find wide application as electrodes for TIG welding. Addition of thoria (ThO) having smallest particle size and homogeneous distribution increases the high temperature strength, recrystallization temperature and decreases electron work function of tungsten considerably. This standard has been prepared as a guide for the manufacturers and users of thoriated tungsten wires and rods for obtaining the desired characteristics. This standard covers the requirements of two types of thoriated tungsten wires and rods containing 1 percent thoria (Grade 1) and 2 percent thoria (Grade 2) which are intended for use in electron/vacuum tubes, for TIG welding and other lighting and electronic devices.
