Tungsten-Copper Alloys

Description

Tungsten-Copper alloys are materials composed of tungsten and copper, which are readily machinable and known for good thermal and electrical conductivity, low thermal expansion, being non-magnetic, good performance under vacuum, and resistance to erosion from arcing. At very high temperatures, such as above 3000℃, the copper in the alloy is liquefied and evaporated, absorbing a large amount of heat, and reducing the surface temperature of the material.

Tungsten-copper has many applications, for example, i) used in aerospace and aviation as missiles, rocket engine nozzles, gas rudders, air rudders, and nose cones in where high-temperature resistance is required; ii) used in high-voltage switch circuit breaker, high-voltage vacuum load switch and lightning arrester; iii) used in electric spark electrodes, resistance welding electrodes, and high-voltage discharge tube electrodes; and iv) used in semiconductor materials.
