Copper Tungsten Electrode

Copper tungsten electrode supplied by Chinatungsten Online is typically 75% tungsten to 25% copper. This mix of tungsten to copper combines the strength, high density and high melting point of tungsten with the excellent electrical properties and good resistance against DC arcing of copper to form an unbeatable combination.

Copper tungsten electrode is recommended as one of the best electrode materials to use when minimum electrode wear is required to hold fine detail/definition and also when limited flushing exists, to minimise the possibility of DC arcing, produce favourable electrode wear and excellent surface finish.

Copper tungsten electrodes can be used to erode any type of work piece and highly recommended when eroding tungsten carbide, nickel super alloys and other exotic materials.
Copper tungsten electrodes can be machined using high speed steel cutting tools, tungsten carbide cutting tools and standard grinding wheels, we recommend tungsten carbide cutting tools due to the extreme hardness of copper tungsten.
