Copper Tungsten (Cu-W) Electrode

Copper Tungsten is a pseudo-alloy composed of copper (Cu) and tungsten (W). It combines the beneficial properties of both metals, resulting in a material with unique characteristics. Copper tungsten is commonly used in various industries due to its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, high melting point, and good mechanical properties.
The manufacturing process of copper tungsten typically involves powder metallurgy techniques. The powdered copper and tungsten are mixed in the desired ratios and then compacted under high pressure. The compacted material is subjected to a sintering process, where it is heated to a temperature below the melting point to bond the particles together. Additional processing steps, such as hot pressing or infiltration, may be employed to achieve specific properties and shapes.
As copper and tungsten shall not really melt together, Cu-W is produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the high electric conductivity and relatively high max. working temperature of this material, copper-Tungsten electrode is usually used in electric component, such as electrodes.
