At SS Scientific, our Filament Coating services ensure that your filaments benefit from cutting-edge materials and processes, providing longevity, efficiency, and environmentally conscious solutions. Trust us for coatings that evaluate the performance and reliability of your scientific instruments.
We offer two types of filament coatings: Thorium Oxide (Thoria) and Yttrium Oxide (Yttria).
Coatings can be applied during our filament manufacturing process or provided as a standalone service for filaments supplied by customers.
Iridium Filaments typically require an emission coating to match the performance of tungsten. The most commonly used coating is Thoria, while Yttria is available as a non-radioactive alternative.
- Thoria-coated iridium filaments offer extended lifespan and improves resistance to oxygen exposure.
- Yttria-coated filaments are environmentally safer, require less power, and operate at lower temperatures while maintaining similar emission levels to uncoated filaments.
We tailor coating solutions to meet your specific application requirements and ensure optimal filament performance.
