Tungsten Copper Alloy Parts
WCu alloy components possess the unique benefits of both tungsten and copper. They demonstrate excellent resistance to high temperatures and arc erosion, as well as to high strength, high density, low thermal expansion, and superb electrical and thermal conductivity.
WCu alloy goes into the manufacturing of high temperature furnace components, heat sinks, electrical discharge machining electrodes, high-voltage discharge tubes, high-voltage arc contacts, electrical contacts, vacuum contacts, resistance welding electrodes, spark erosion electrodes, seam welding, bearing inserts, leaders, balance weights, dies for castings, spreaders, microwave carriers, hermetic package bases and housings, ceramic substrate carriers, medical components, heating elements, high speed tools, flash and butt welding die inserts & facing, and projection welding electrodes.
