Tungsten foil is a thin film made of tungsten metal, with a thickness ranging from 0.1 micrometers to 5 micrometers. The surface has a glossy and smooth surface, high hardness and friction resistance, as well as good corrosion resistance and conductivity.


1、 Characteristics of tungsten foil


1. Tungsten foil has excellent thermal stability, resistance to thermal expansion, and thermal conductivity, and has good performance under high temperature conditions;


2. Tungsten foil has high friction resistance, good wear resistance, and longer lifespan;


3. Tungsten foil has good thermal conductivity and can quickly conduct heat;


4. Tungsten foil has heat resistance and corrosion resistance, with particularly strong corrosion resistance;


5. Tungsten foil has electrical insulation and excellent electrical properties.


2、 The Use of Tungsten Foil


1. Tungsten foil is widely used in electronic devices, such as television tubes, computer monitors, mobile phone panels, etc;


2. Tungsten foil is also used in the manufacturing of electronic components, such as capacitors, resistors, relays, etc;


3. Tungsten foil has a beautiful appearance and can be used for making decorations, jewelry, etc;


4. Tungsten foil can also be used in aerospace, military and other fields, for manufacturing high-temperature fuel propellers, etc;


5. Tungsten foil can also be used in the manufacturing of medical devices, such as making implanted organs.


3、 Manufacturing process of tungsten foil


1. The manufacturing processes of tungsten foil mainly include smelting method, electrolysis method, liquid phase method, etc;


2. Smelting method is a traditional manufacturing method that melts tungsten powder into a metal mold to form tungsten foil;


3. Electrolysis is a high-precision manufacturing method that dissolves tungsten powder in an electrolyte and then undergoes an electrolysis process to form tungsten foil;


4. Liquid phase method is a rapid method for preparing tungsten foil. Tungsten oxide powder is dissolved in a solvent and then solidified, washed, and dried to form tungsten foil.


4、 Precautions for tungsten foil


1. Tungsten foil is a thin film of tungsten metal that has good electrical insulation performance, but is also easily affected by humid environments;


2. The anti wear performance of tungsten foil, but it is also susceptible to erosion by external substances such as metal debris and sand particles;


3. Tungsten foil has excellent corrosion resistance, but it is also susceptible to corrosion by corrosive substances such as strong acids and alkalis;


4. Tungsten foil has thermal resistance, but it is also susceptible to high temperature environments;


5. Tungsten foil has excellent electrical properties, but it is also susceptible to electromagnetic fields such as high voltage and high frequency.


5、 Construction method of tungsten foil


1. The construction methods of tungsten foil mainly include pasting method, fusion method, coating method, etc;


2. The pasting method is to attach tungsten foil to the surface and fix it through hot pressing, cold pressing, and other forms;


3. The fusion welding method involves fusing tungsten foil onto the surface and utilizing the thermal stability of the tungsten foil itself to achieve fixation;


4. The adhesive coating method is to apply silicone or other adhesive to the tungsten foil, and then apply the tungsten foil to the surface to achieve fixation.


Tungsten foil is a thin film like tungsten metal with excellent thermal stability, thermal expansion resistance, and friction resistance. It can be widely used in the manufacturing of electronic equipment, aerospace, and other fields, as well as in decoration, jewelry, and other fields. Some precautions should also be taken during construction to ensure construction quality.
