Celestial Inter Supply co.,Ltd. is a  supplier Pure tungsten sheet, rod, bar stock and crucibles.

We prepare our tungsten to perform perfectly in its specific applications. We can determine the following properties through the addition of various alloys:

  • Physical properties (e.g. melting point, vapor pressure, density, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, heat capacity, electron work function)
  • Mechanical properties (e.g. strength, fracture behavior, creep resistance, ductility)
  • Chemical properties (corrosion resistance, etch ability)
  • Workability (e.g. machining, formability, weld ability)
