Gold plated tungsten wire means the tungsten wire is plating with gold, which is very suitable for use in harsh environments. For instance, it has wide applications in printing, antennas, medical, technical research, and so on.
Plating is providing oxidation resistance and improved wettability for welding. The gold plated tungsten wire will not change in density compared to unplated tungsten wire of the same diameter as tungsten and gold are almost equal in density. While the electrical resistance of the plated tungsten wire will be somewhat reduced because of the lower resistivity for gold. What should be considered when using plated tungsten wire is that the melting point for gold is 1064°C in comparison with 3410°C for tungsten wire.
