I'm in the process of designing a fixture which uses a piece of 3.2mm tungsten rod approx 150mm long as a stylis to follow a contour.
I chose to use tungsten looking for something with a small diameter that would give me minimal flex over the 150mm length. What I got was 3.2mm. 0.3% zirconiated TIG welding tungsten but it's been supplied as "annealed and flexible".
Is there any realistic way to harden this to make it rigid as possible? It won't see any form of impact and I have 10 to play with
