Introduction to Tungsten-Copper Alloys

Tungsten-copper alloys are alloys composed of tungsten and copper. Commonly used alloys contain 10% to 50% copper. These alloys are produced using powder metallurgy and possess excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, good high-temperature strength, and a certain degree of plasticity. At very high temperatures, such as above 3000℃, the copper in the alloy liquefies and evaporates, absorbing a large amount of heat and lowering the material's surface temperature. Therefore, these materials are also called "sweating metals."

Tungsten-copper alloys can be produced and sized according to customer requirements, with specific tungsten-copper ratios. The general process for producing tungsten-copper alloys involves powder preparation, batching and mixing, pressing and molding, and sintering/dissolving.
