Sylhan Applications - Lighting (Tungsten Electrodes)

Tungsten Electrodes

Specialty lighting applications like short arc lamps and other lamp types require machined pure tungsten electrodes and thoriated tungsten anodes and cathodes. Ion implantation is necessary for the economical production of these solid state devices. These electrodes come in many different sizes and configurations that require expert machining skills for manufacturing.  Sylhan has the capability to maintain the production requirements and ship quality electrodes to your monthly schedule.  Applications include military, medical, and short arc warning lighting.

Understanding the need for quality in the manufacture of tungsten electrodes, Sylhan is ISO 9001-2000 Registered, which supports our Quality Assurance Program with companywide emphasis on operator responsibility for product quality.  We also work to military specifications as required and comply with ANSI and ASME standards.   The Sylhan Quality Assurance Program was initiated as a result of our customers sophisticated and continually demanding industry requirements.
