Unique Properties of Thulium Wire & Rod

Thulium wire and rod combine good machinability, thermal stability, and magnetic sensitivity, making them reliable materials for research and industrial use. Each wire and rod is produced with smooth surfaces and precise dimensions, ensuring consistent performance in demanding applications.

1. Excellent Machinability & Formability

Rods maintain strength and shape under thermal cycling and mechanical stress, while wire offers flexibility for precision winding and custom fabrication.

2. Magnetic Responsiveness

Thulium exhibits paramagnetic behavior, making it suitable for use in magneto-optical components and scientific instrumentation.

3. Laser & Photonic Compatibility

Used as feedstock for Tm-doped crystals (e.g., Tm:YAG), essential for surgical lasers, industrial cutting, and optical amplifiers.

4. Thermal & Chemical Stability

Performs consistently at elevated temperatures and resists surface degradation under proper handling.

5. Clean Surface Finish

With proper surface treatment, thulium wire and rod offer bright, oxide-free surfaces ideal for bonding, coating, or further machining.

6. Low Vapor Pressure

Enables stable behavior in vacuum or inert environments, critical for material science research and thin film deposition setups.

 

Manufacturing Process of Thulium Wires & Rods

High-purity thulium ingots are produced using vacuum induction melting (VIM) or electron beam melting (EBM). Each batch undergoes rigorous testing using GDMS, ICP-MS, and ONH analyzers to confirm purity, chemical composition, and trace impurity levels before further processing.

The ingots are forged, rolled, and machined into rod stock. When wire is required, the rods are drawn through a multi-pass wire drawing process to achieve the specified diameter with tight tolerances.

Rods are carefully heated and cooled to remove internal stress and improve workability. For wire production, annealing between drawing passes restores ductility and ensures consistent mechanical properties.

Surfaces are polished to a bright, oxide-free finish. Optional precision machining and grinding available for tight tolerances.

Each batch is inspected for dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and edge smoothness. Approved material is ultrasonically cleaned to remove dust, oils, and other contaminants.

Material is vacuum-sealed in moisture-proof bags and packed in shock-resistant cartons. Each shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA), packing list, and other required documents.
