Hi Richard - Apparently you have run out of the normal soldering
challenges and need a stretch challenge! I agree with Patrick and Mark -
soldering to W is very difficult with more probability of success with a
brazing or welding operation. Tungsten is considered a refractory metal
and its oxides act very much like ceramics. Cleaning of Tungsten oxide
uses processes like molten sodium hydroxide or HNO3/HF acid combinations
which are not for the faint of heart. If you can get the Tungsten wire
plated with nickel, then you might be able to use a conventional soldering
process (but getting nickel on the wire is problematic too - need a really
good plating shop). Good Luck.
