Copper-Tungsten Alloy (CuW Alloy)

Product Overview

Copper-tungsten alloy is composed of copper and tungsten, with the tungsten content typically ranging from 70% to 80%. This alloy combines copper's excellent electrical conductivity with tungsten's high density and high-temperature resistance. It offers low thermal expansion, good wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Copper-tungsten alloy is widely used in aerospace, aviation, electrical power, metallurgy, and other fields, particularly excelling in applications requiring high conductivity and high-temperature resistance.

Features

• Low Thermal Expansion: Copper-tungsten alloy has a low thermal expansion coefficient, making it ideal for use in precision equipment that requires high dimensional stability.
• Wear Resistance: The high tungsten content gives the alloy excellent wear resistance, able to withstand long-term mechanical abrasion.
• Corrosion Resistance: The tungsten content provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.
• High Electrical and Thermal Conductivity: The copper in this alloy ensures superior electrical and thermal conductivity, making it ideal for use in electronics, electrical power, and other high-performance applications.

Applications

• Aerospace and Aviation: Used for components in high-temperature and high-pressure environments, such as guidance devices, thermal shields, and engine parts.
