Tungsten　is　the　dominant　resources　in　China,　and　its　reserves　and　consumption　ranks　the　first　place　in　the　world.　The　tungsten　electrode　material,　as　an　important　manufacture　of　tungsten　product,　widely　used　in　metal　inert-gas　welding,　plasma　welding,　cutting,　plasma　spraying,　is　a　kind　of　important　industrial　material　[1].　The　radioactive　thorium　tungsten　electrode　material　is　now　gradually　substituted　by　rare　earth　tungsten　electrode　material　since　it　is　excellent　in　thermal　electron　emission　property.　Through　many　years＇　study,　we　have　mastered　the　key　technology　for　the　tungsten　electrode　material.　After　the　extension　and　application　of　the　key　preparation　technology,　the　authors　group　has　developed　the　rare　earth　tungsten　electrode　materials　and　rare　earth　tungsten　products,　and　the　adjustment　of　industrial　structure　and　upgrading　of　the　product　been　realized.　©　2016　Trans　Tech　Publications,　Switzerland.
