1. Handling and Storage:

   Handle with Care: Tungsten is a hard and brittle material. Avoid dropping or subjecting tungsten sheets to impact, as this can lead to chipping or breakage. Avoid Contaminants: Keep tungsten sheets away from contaminants, such as oils and greases, which can affect their performance.

2. Cleaning:

   Use Mild Cleaning Agents: When cleaning tungsten sheets, use mild cleaning agents and solvents. Harsh chemicals can react with tungsten and compromise its surface integrity.

   Avoid Abrasives: Refrain from using abrasive materials for cleaning, as they can scratch or damage the surface.

3. Temperature Considerations:

   Avoid Rapid Temperature Changes: Tungsten rods can withstand high temperatures, but rapid temperature changes, especially extreme quenching, may lead to thermal stress and potential cracking.

   Gradual Cooling: Allow tungsten sheets to cool gradually after exposure to high temperatures to minimize thermal shock.

4. Welding Applications:

   Check for Contamination: In welding applications, ensure that the tungsten electrode is free from any contamination, which can affect the quality of the weld.

   Proper Grinding Techniques: When grinding tungsten electrodes for welding, use proper techniques and equipment to maintain the correct tip geometry.

5. Storage Conditions:

   Dry Storage: Store tungsten sheets in a dry environment to prevent corrosion or oxidation.

   Avoid Humidity: If tungsten sheets are exposed to high humidity, consider using moisture-absorbing materials in storage areas.

6. Avoid Excessive Force:

   Minimize Bending: Tungsten rods are rigid but can be brittle. Avoid applying excessive force or bending, especially if the rod has a small diameter.

7. Use in Appropriate Applications:

   Know the Limitations: Be aware of the limitations of tungsten sheets. While they excel in high-temperature and high-strength applications, they may not be suitable for applications requiring high ductility.

8. Regular Inspection:

   Check for Damage: Periodically inspect tungsten sheets for any signs of damage, such as cracks or chips.

   Replace Damaged Rods: If any damage is detected, replace the tungsten rod to prevent compromising the performance of the material.

9. Proper Machining Practices:

   Use Suitable Tools: When machining tungsten sheets, use tools that are designed for hard materials to avoid excessive wear and ensure precision.
