Tungsten-copper Round Block

Tungsten-copper blocks are cylindrical or disc-shaped composite materials or pseudo-alloys made from tungsten and copper using powder metallurgy. Tungsten-copper blocks are not simple alloys because tungsten and copper are immiscible in the solid state. They are typically produced using powder metallurgy methods (such as static pressing, high-temperature sintering, and copper infiltration processes) to create a microstructure where a copper phase fills a tungsten framework. They combine the high melting point, high hardness, and high density of tungsten with the excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and machinability of copper, exhibiting unique advantages under extreme conditions.
