Tungsten Copper Alloy Description

Tungsten copper alloy is consisting of tungsten and copper, copper content of 10% to 50%. made of powder metallurgy alloy. It has good electrical and thermal conductivity, good high temperature strength and a certain plasticity. At high temperatures, such as above 3000 ℃. The copper alloy is liquid evaporates,absorbs heat, reducing the surface temperature. Therefore, these materials are also known as metallic sweat material. Tungsten copper alloy have a wide purpose, mainly used to manufacture anti-arc ablation of high-voltage electrical switch contacts and the rocket nozzle throat insert, rudder and other high temperature components, and also used for EDM electrode, high temperature moldsand other thermal conductivity and high temperature performance required to usethe occasion. Fine selection of tungsten copper tungsten, copper powder, refine dart soak sintering process, can withstand the high stress of nearly 2,000 high moderate, high melting point, high hardness, anti-burning and good anti-adhesion, electrical erosion product surface finish high, high precision, low loss. Tungsten copper is widely used as high-pressure, super-hydraulicswitch and circuit breaker contact, protection ring for electric upsetting anvil block of material, conductive Tsui automatic submerged arc welding, plasma cutting nozzles, welding machines, welding head for welding , roll welding wheels,electrode and the point of sealing gas Mao spark electrodes, spot welding, butt welding materials.

Main Sizes of tungsten copper:
Copper tungsten Rods: Dia(10-60)mm x (150-250)mm
Copper tungsten Spare bars: (12 x 12)mm (45 x 45)mm x 350mm

Copper tungsten alloy is the composite of Tungsten and Copper, which own the excellent performances of Tungsten and Copper, such as heat-resistant, ablate-resistant, high-intensity, excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. Tungsten copper alloy is easy to be machined. Tungsten copper alloy is used widely in such industries as engine, electrical power, electron, metallurgy, spaceflight and aviation. Using CIP formation, sintered tungsten skeleton and infiltrating copper (silver) technology, large size and special shape products of tungsten copper composites with 6-90 percent of copper are produced, such as electric contacts, electrode, refractory parts, heat sinks and parts of rocket, We can also produce tungsten copper alloy sheet material, tubing, plate and other small products by mould pressing, extrusion pressing and MIM.

Copper Tungsten alloy 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.

Commonly used copper tungsten alloy contains 10 to 50 wt. % of copper, the remaining portion being substantially all tungsten. The typical properties of the alloy depend on its composition. The alloy with less wt.% of copper has higher density, higher hardness and higher resistivity. The typical density of CuW90 alloy, with 10% of copper, is 16.75g/cm3 and 11.85g/cm3 for CuW50 alloy. CuW90 has higher hardness and resistivity of 260 HB kgf/mm2 and 6.5 µΩ.cm than CuW50.
