Tungsten grades
| Mark | Additives | The purpose of the additive |
|---|---|---|
| HF | Without additive | - |
| VA | Si + Al | Increase of initial recrystallization temperature, strength after annealing, form stability |
| VM | Si + Th | Increase of recrystallization temperature and strength. |
| VT | ThO2 | Increase of emission properties of tungsten |
| VI | Y2O3 | --- "--- |
| VL | LaO | --- "--- |
| BP | Re | Increase of plasticity of tungsten after high-temperature treatment, increase of primary recrystallization temperature, strength |
| BPH | Increased content of impurities | - |
| MB | Mo | Increased strength while retaining ductility after annealing |
Manufacturing
Tungsten wires are made from powder rods that are rolled in a rotary forging machine. A rod is obtained that is drawn into a tungsten wire with a diameter of 1 to 3 mm by drawing. Smaller diameter wire is called strand. It can also be made with the addition of chromium, cobalt, carbon. At the same time, its strength increases. Tungsten drawn wire of groups A, B, C (black) of VA, BCh, BPH grades is also made by powder metallurgy.

Usage
This grade is used in x-ray engineering and radioelectronics for manufacturing of heaters and cathodes for electronic devices which are intended to operate under conditions of vibration, shock, t° 2100 °C. Tungsten wires are used to manufacture cathodes for gas-discharge and electronic devices, bushings and other parts that do not require tungsten with special additives. Tungsten wire for lighting devices is produced in accordance with
