Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to one embodiment, a rhenium-tungsten alloy wire which is a wire including a tungsten alloy containing rhenium. A ratio W/Re of an atomic concentration (atm %) of tungsten (W) to an atomic concentration (atm %) of rhenium (Re) according to XPS analysis is 2.5 or more in an arbitrary measurement area of a unit area having a diameter of 50 μm at a wire surface. A medical needle according to the embodiment includes the rhenium-tungsten alloy wire according to the embodiment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A rhenium-tungsten alloy wire which is a wire comprising a tungsten alloy containing rhenium, wherein a ratio W/Re of an atomic concentration (atm %) of tungsten (W) to an atomic concentration (atm %) of rhenium (Re) according to XPS analysis is 2.5 or more in an arbitrary measurement area of a unit area having a diameter of 50 μm at a wire surface. 2 . The rhenium-tungsten alloy wire according to claim 1 , wherein a rhenium content is 2 wt % or more and less than 30 wt %. 3 . The rhenium-tungsten alloy wire according to claim 1 , wherein the rhenium content is 10 wt % or more and 28 wt % or less. 4 . The rhenium-tungsten alloy wire according to claim 1 , wherein a potassium (K) content is 30 wtppm or more and 90 wtppm or less. 5 . The rhenium-tungsten alloy wire according to claim 1 , which has a diameter of 0.1 mm or more and 1.00 mm or less. 6 . The rhenium-tungsten alloy wire according to claim 1 , which is used for a wire material of a medical needle. 7 . A method of manufacturing the rhenium-tungsten alloy wire according to claim 1 . 8 . A medical needle comprising the rhenium-tungsten alloy wire according to claim 1 .
