We, Kefeng Powder Metallurgy Co., manufactures and supplies DRC Conflict Free material only.Characteristics and features When processing the copper tungsten alloy products, the purity tungsten is pressed, sintered and infiltrated by the oxygen-free copper afterthe consolidating steps which represents a homogeneous microstructure and low level of porosity. The combination of copper's conductivity with tungsten's high density, hardness and high melting point produces a composite with many preeminent properties of both elements. Copper-infiltrated tungsten boasts such properties as high resistance to high-temperature and arc-erosion, excellent thermal and electrical conductivity and a low coefficient of thermal. The physical and mechanical properties and melting point of tungsten copper material will be positively or oppositely affected by varying the amount of copper tungsten in the composite. As the copper content gradually increases, the electrical and thermal conductivity and thermal expansion exhibit a tendency of being stronger. But the density, electrical resistance, hardness and strength will be weakened when infiltrated with less amount of copper. In the end, an appropriate chemical composition is the utmost importance when considering tungsten copper for specific application need. Low thermal expansionHigh thermal and electrical conductivityLow consumptionHigh arc resistanceApplication The use of Tungsten copper (W-Cu) has greatly increased in many fields and applications due to its unique mechanical and thermophysical properties. Tungsten copper materials exhibit high outstanding performance in the aspects of hardness, strength, conductivity, high temperature, and arc erosion resistance. It has been extensively used for the production of electrical contacts, heat sinkers and spreaders, die-sinking EDM electrodes and fuel injection nozzles.Copper Tungsten ElectrodeTungsten copper is widely used in applications such as electrodes for sinker electrical discharge machining (EDM) and resistance welding. Copper tungsten EDM electrode is capable of machining hard refractory alloys such as titanium carbide and tungsten carbide. Copper tungsten can yield a better MMR (material removal rate) at a low level of TWR (tool wear rate) in comparison to copper, graphite, and other common materials electrodes. In addition, copper tungsten electrodes will become more desirable to utilize if the machining work requires high accuracy in dimension or an intricated geometry.Therefore, copper tungsten is a relatively cost-saving and efficient option with respect to overcoming machining difficulties caused by a high melting temperature, and high thermal shock and abrasion resistance. Tungsten copper composites are also a preferred gourp of material in resistance welding electrodes. This is both because of the excellent conductivity of copper and the high melting point and the corrosion resistance of tungsten.Copper Tungsten Heat Sink And Packaging MaterialCopper tungsten is a promising material commonly utilized in integrated circuits and high-power microelectronic devices as heat sink and packaging materials. Tungsten copper alloy exhibited superior thermal conductivity and machinability. Most importantly, copper tungsten composites process a relatively low and tailorable coefficient of thermal expansion. In addition, the CTE range of copper tungsten composites overlapped with that of semiconductor materials like SiC and ceramics substrate materials like Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and Beryllium oxide (BeO). Therefore, WCu composite can be tailored to a close CTE to each material and efficiently prevent them from the damage of thermal stress fatigue.Copper Tungsten ContactCopper tungsten contact presents high closing and breaking performance in applications of high voltage circuit breakers, no matter what the interrupting medium is, e.g. an oil, vacuum, SF6 gas, or air environment. When the low melting point copper particles melt and evaporate from the tungsten skeleton, those particles absorb large amounts of heat generated by the electrical arc. Apart from the cooling effect of copper tungsten, the high melting point tungsten particles also take credit for the superiority of copper tungsten contact by offering an unmatchable resistance to arc-erosion and a high density.Copper Tungsten NozzleCopper tungsten (Cu W) has also been proven to be one of the preferred materials for aviation and aerospace applications. Tungsten has a low thermal expansion and a high melting point. At the same time, the copper infiltrates contribute an exceptional transpiration cooling effect to the copper tungsten components when the working temperature is from 2000oC to 3300 oC. Therefore, the infiltrated tungsten provides superior resistance to thermal shock. It is critical to ensure the complex machined component maintains a stable condition and accurate dimension. These advantageous properties are why copper tungsten is widely used to make high-temperature resistance components such as the nozzles and throats of missiles and rockets.

Ni is the most substantial activation sintering effect. When 0.2~ 0.5%(mass fraction) nickel powders are added at about 1500oC, a high density (>98% relative density) will achieve by sintering tungsten powders. However, in the latest tungsten copper electrical contact, sintering tungsten skeleton and tungsten copper mixed powders at a lower temperature by adding small amounts of nickel powders could not achieve a perfect effect. Studies of the activation sintering behavior of tungsten copper mixed powders in detail found that Co and Fe's activation effect was notably higher than that of Ni, especially Co. For instance, 98% relative density can be achieved for Tungsten Copper material.Moreover, when Co was for activation sintering, a tungsten and Co interface layer with high diffusion was on the surface of the tungsten grain. This promotes the diffusion and sintering of tungsten grain. Instead, when Co(Co 20.5%) was too much, a thicker W and Co layer can form. This would affect the migration and diffusion of materials to reduce the sintering density.The most significant disadvantage of directly sintering tungsten copper is that tungsten copper's electrical and thermal conductivity is reduced by activation sintering.MaterialsWt% Tungsten ContentWt%Copper ContentGradeRWMA ClassDensity (g/cc)Electrical Conductivity (%IACS)Hardness (HRB)W70Cu3070BalanceA5WC1014.1847-5288-95W75Cu2575BalanceA10WC1114.8042-5096-99W80Cu2080BalanceA30WC1215.6041-4999-104Note: The values are typical and not to be used for specifications.Our AdvantagesFor three decades Kefeng Powder Metallurgy has pioneered and produced the best tungsten alloy metal solutions for the world's products, applications and industries.-Our products are subjected to rigorous physical testing, including density, tensile, yield strength,conductivity, elongation and hardness.-Our products are identified at all stages of the production process and are thoroughly analized and checked before delivery.-Our products can be supplied with full verification in accordance with specifications,whateverChemically, mechanically or physically.At Kefeng Metallurgy,our expert and equipment are committed to providing the best tungsten alloy Refractory metal solution that performs our customer's requirements and improving overall quality.
