Tungsten Copper Rod

Tungsten copper (copper-tungsten, CuW, or WCu) rod is a pseudo-alloy of copper and tungsten. As copper and tungsten are not mutually soluble, the material is composed of distinct particles of one metal dispersed in a matrix of the other one. The microstructure is therefore rather a metal matrix composite instead of a true alloy. The material combines the properties of both metals, resulting in a material that is heat-resistant, ablation-resistant, highly thermally and electrically conductive, and easy to machine. Parts are made from the CuW alloy by pressing the tungsten particles into a desired shape, sintering the compacted part, then infiltrating with molten copper. Sheets, rods and bars of the alloy are available as well.
Tungsten copper rod is consisting of pure tungsten (W) powder suspended in a matrix of copper (Cu), these alloys are known for good thermal and electrical conductivity, low thermal expansion, and resistance to erosion from arcing. Thus, they are often used as electrical contacts, particularly in high voltage applications. Most sizes and shapes can be supplied with short lead times. We can also manufacture parts from these materials to your specifications.
Tungsten copper rod combines the advantages of tungsten and copper, with a high melting point of tungsten (tungsten melting point of 3410 ℃, copper melting point 1080 ℃), high density (tungsten density of 19.25g / cm, copper density of 8.92 / cm3); excellent thermal conductivity properties of copper, tungsten copper alloy (composition generally ranges WCu7 ~ WCu50) have uniform microstructure, high temperature, high strength, resistance to arc erosion, high density; moderate conductivity, thermal conductivity, high temperature materials are widely used in military, high-voltage switch with electrical alloy, EDM electrode, microelectronic materials, parts and components as widely used in aerospace, aviation, electronics, electricity, metallurgy, machinery, sports equipment and other industries.
