WHY TUNGSTEN ?
Tungsten is a very hard metal with following physical properties:
- High melting and boiling point highest of all the metals
- Excellent resistance to wear and tear
- Excellent resistance to welding, sticking and material transfer
- High electrical conductivity
Having the above above properties, tungsten is primarily used in high-frequency switching applications like automotive ignition system and horn contacts. On being exposed to air, Tungsten Contacts form oxide layer, the thickness of which may reach up to 50 Armstrong (1 Armstrong= 1/10000000000 meters). When a high contact force is used, most of the oxide layers are broken, and current flow (electron tunneling) takes place with tungsten contacts and the device starts functioning. Force of 0.500 kgf for more is commonly applied in devices using tungsten contacts. During arcing, as in the case of other composite contact materials, the tungsten will be oxidized under the heat of arc
Tungsten
contacts are very popular and widely used for high frequency switching
operations, like 100-500 cycles/second. It has low electrical erosion,
but is not considered good for carrying high currents for long periods
in the closed position. If high currents are passed, it can lead to high
heating in the current constriction area. This result in oxide build-up
and without mechanical wiping movement of the contacts, high resistance
can result with device overheating and/or device failure. Current range
of 1 to 5 Ampere is common. Tungsten for contact application is
generally made by powder metallurgical process.
