Material & Engineering Overview

Consolidated by powder metallurgy, vacuum arc remelting (VAR), or electron-beam melting and stress-relieved for high-temperature dimensional stability, our Tungsten-Rhenium thermocouple wire (type c, type d & type g) & probes (W5Re / W26Re & W3Re / W25Re, CAS 7440-15-5) products deliver reliable performance in vacuum, inert-gas, and reducing furnace atmospheres.

Above 1,700 °C where Platinum-Rhodium (Type B/R/S) thermocouples soften or melt, matched Tungsten-Rhenium Type C (W5%Re vs. W26%Re) and Type D (W3%Re vs. W25%Re) wires measure vacuum and inert-gas furnace temperatures continuously up to 2,315 °C (4,200 °F). Every shipment includes the producing mill's chemical purity Certificate of Analysis (reporting metallic and interstitial O, N, C, H trace levels in ppm) and pre-shipment dimensional verification.

Standard Shipment Documentation: Manufacturer Mill Test Certificate / Batch COA (chemical purity and interstitial O, N, C, H ppm analysis) plus dimensional inspection report.

Primary Research & Industrial Applications

  • 2,315 °C (4,200 °F) hot-zone temperature control in vacuum, argon, and hydrogen sintering furnaces

Technical & Procurement FAQ

What atmosphere is required when operating Tungsten-Rhenium thermocouple wire (type c, type d & type g) & probes (W5Re / W26Re & W3Re / W25Re) at high temperature?
Refractory metals oxidize in air above 400–500 °C; operate in high vacuum (≤10⁻⁴ Torr), high-purity argon/helium, or reducing hydrogen/forming-gas atmospheres.
Can TB-WRE-TC be custom machined to our engineering print?
Yes. Attach a STEP/DXF/PDF drawing on the RFQ page for precision CNC turning, milling, wire-EDM, laser cutting, or forming with small-batch R&D minimums.
What certification ships with Tungsten-Rhenium thermocouple wire (type c, type d & type g) & probes?
All shipments include the producing mill's batch chemical Certificate of Analysis (ICP/GDMS trace impurities and interstitial gas content) and dimensional verification.
