WCu (Tungsten Copper High-Density Alloy Bar) is a high-performance material known for its exceptional thermal and electrical conductivity, high strength, and resistance to wear and corrosion. This alloy is widely used in various industries, including electronics, aerospace, and electrical engineering, where it serves in critical components exposed to demanding environments. Its unique properties make it ideal for applications requiring durability, reliability, and high performance.
Product Overview
WCu (Tungsten Copper High-Density Alloy Bar) is a composite material made from tungsten and copper using powder metallurgy technology. This alloy combines the high strength and high density of tungsten with the excellent electrical and thermal conductivity of copper, providing outstanding performance at extremely high temperatures. Tungsten copper materials, especially in high-temperature environments, exhibit a unique "sweating" cooling effect, effectively lowering the surface temperature, thus extending service life and improving work efficiency.
Features
- High Strength and High Density: The high strength and density of tungsten copper make it suitable for high-load and high-strength working environments.
- Excellent Electrical and Thermal Conductivity: With exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, this material is ideal for applications requiring rapid heat dissipation.
- High-Temperature Resistance: Tungsten copper alloy can withstand extreme temperatures and effectively lowers surface temperature through the copper sweating effect, making it suitable for high-temperature environments.
- Arc Erosion Resistance: The material is resistant to arc erosion, welding spatter, and has lower thermal electron emission, making it suitable for high-pressure switches and other electrical equipment.
Applications
- Military Applications: Widely used in the aerospace industry, including components such as missile and rocket engine nozzles, gas and air rudders, where copper’s sweating effect reduces surface temperature.
- High-Pressure Switches: Ideal for high-pressure switchgear, particularly in components requiring resistance to arc erosion and welding spatter.
- Electrical Processing Electrodes: Tungsten copper electrodes are extensively used in electrical discharge machining (EDM), resistance welding electrodes, and high-voltage discharge tube electrodes due to their high-temperature resistance and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity.
- Microelectronics Materials: Used in semiconductor packaging materials, heat dissipation materials, ceramics, gallium arsenide substrates, and other microelectronic devices, serving as heat-dissipation components with ideal thermal expansion and conductivity properties.
