Material identity
Select pure tungsten or a named alloy with an agreed chemistry and condition.
BOMO METALS · MADE TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS
Custom Tungsten Rods & Bars
Tungsten rod forms and drawing-based blanks for equipment and thermal component projects. Specify the material designation, diameter, length, end details and intended use so the geometry and manufacturing requirements can be reviewed together.
Tungsten material properties & specification reference
Tungsten is a dense refractory metal with a high melting-point reference. Pure tungsten, tungsten heavy alloys and tungsten carbide are separate material systems; a familiar product shape does not make their properties interchangeable.
Thermal operating context
Specify vacuum or gas atmosphere, exposure to air, thermal cycles, load and contact media. Melting point is not an operating-temperature guarantee.
Drawing-based geometry
Define critical dimensions, datum surfaces, finish and inspection requirements for the actual component.
| Property / specification | Reference or selection | Procurement meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Material identity | Tungsten (W) | Element reference; identify the industrial grade separately |
| Atomic number | 74 | Element identity |
| Density at room temperature | 19.3 g/cm³ | Reference for the element; delivered material depends on grade and condition |
| Melting point | 3414 °C | Element phase-change reference, not a continuous service-temperature rating |
| Common designation in our materials | W1 | Use the exact material grade or standard required by your drawing |
| Purity reference in product files | ≥99.95% for specified pure-metal examples | Confirm required chemistry and certificate scope for the order; not applied to alloys |
| Delivered shape and condition | Drawing-based | Geometry, finish and material state are specified separately |
Element density and melting point: Royal Society of Chemistry reference. Designation and purity examples: our product materials. Reference values explain the base metal; the selected grade and agreed order specification govern delivery.
What to specify for tungsten rods
Tungsten rods are a starting form for a range of custom parts. A buyer may require a plain blank for subsequent machining or a finished rod with mating features. The product name should therefore be accompanied by a material specification and the final part requirements.
Our tungsten product materials include rod forms. The delivered surface, critical tolerances and additional processing are reviewed for each enquiry. For a long slender part, identify straightness and handling requirements; for a fitted part, show the reference dimensions and end geometry.
Customization options & quotation inputs
| Customization input | What to specify | Details for review |
|---|---|---|
| Material identity | Required tungsten grade or named alloy | Pure tungsten and tungsten heavy alloys are separate specifications |
| Dimensions | Diameter, length and end geometry | Straightness, roundness and critical fit dimensions |
| Delivered condition | Blank or finished component | Surface condition and any further machining allowance |
| Function and inspection | Equipment role and mating parts | Drawing revision and agreed acceptance checks |
These fields describe your requirements, rather than a fixed stock catalogue or a universal capability range. The selected material, geometry, quantity and inspection scope are reviewed together.
Applications & operating conditions
Rod forms in our tungsten materials support enquiries for high-temperature parts and drawing-based equipment components. Describe the actual component role rather than asking for a generic rod: a support, contact part and machining blank do not have the same acceptance criteria.
For thermal use, include the atmosphere, thermal cycle and load. For electrical or other equipment use, identify the duty and interfaces. If an application calls for a tungsten heavy alloy, send its exact grade and requirements instead of treating it as pure tungsten.
Agree the manufacturing and inspection scope
Start with a current drawing, material specification and the features that determine fit or function. Identify any surfaces, connections or operating conditions that need special review. The proposed manufacturing route and achievable requirements are discussed before the order scope is agreed.
List the material documentation and dimensional or surface checks your procurement process requires. Their availability and acceptance criteria should be agreed in the quotation. For a repeat order, identify changes to the drawing, material or service conditions.
Tungsten Rods questions
Can I specify a tungsten heavy alloy on this enquiry?
Yes, identify the exact grade and function. It will be reviewed as a separate material system. The rod shape does not make pure tungsten, heavy alloy and carbide interchangeable.
Can I request non-standard dimensions?
Yes. Send the required dimensions and mark the tolerances that matter for your application. We review the actual material, geometry and quantity; the photographs are not fixed-size or stock listings.
What are the lead time and documentation options?
Include your required schedule and documents with the enquiry. The inspection scope, production route, quantity and delivery requirements are reviewed before quotation; one lead time is not promised for all custom parts.
Request a tungsten rods quotation
Email your drawing, sketch or initial requirements to sales@bomometals.com. Include the following information where available:
- Diameter, length and end geometry; material designation; straightness, surface and critical fit requirements.
- Material grade or standard, drawing revision and component function.
- First-order quantity, expected repeat demand and required inspection or material documents.
- Operating conditions, delivery country and location, and requested schedule.
We review the achievable specification, inspection scope, packaging and quotation terms for your project. A photograph can start the discussion; dimensioned information is needed to define manufacture.
