Tungsten Copper Electrical Contacts

Tungsten-Copper alloy is a two-element alloy mainly based on tungsten and supplemented by copper. It is a composite metal material. As metal copper and metal tungsten have a large difference in physical properties, it’s impossible to adopt casting process for production. Now the industry generally uses copper infiltration technology for production. Our infiltration copper technology is of the mostly historical research and skillful manufacturing experience in China.

 

Physical Properties of Tungsten & Copper

 

Properties	Density g/cm3	Thermal Expansion Coefficient	Heat Conductivity w/(m·k)	Thermal Capacity J/(kg°C)	Modulus of Elasticity GPa	Poisson Density	Melting Point °C	Strength MPa
Tungsten	19.32	4.5	174	136	411	0.28	3410	550
Copper	8.93	16.6	403	385	145	0.34	1083	120

 

Except for particular specify, our tungsten copper sheet hold common tolerance, thickness(0,+0.7)mm,length(0,+3)mm.
