Barium tungsten electrodes used in industrial lighting typically refer to the core components in discharge lamps, such as high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps. These electrodes are primarily made of tungsten due to its extremely high melting point (approximately 3422°C) and excellent high-temperature resistance, enabling it to withstand elevated temperatures during lamp operation. These properties make tungsten an ideal choice for electrode materials in industrial lighting, particularly in discharge lamps that require the generation of bright arcs.
