Copper tungsten alloy Applications

In the electronics industry, copper-tungsten alloys are widely used as electrodes for resistance welding, arc welding and plasma cutting due to their high melting point, good electrical conductivity and resistance to arc erosion. The high resistivity and stability of copper-tungsten alloy make it an ideal material for manufacturing precision resistors. These resistors are used in electronic circuits for current limiting, voltage dividing and temperature compensation.

In the aerospace field, the high density and high temperature resistance of copper-tungsten alloy make it a thermal protection material in the aerospace field. It is able to withstand the high temperatures generated during high-speed flight and protects the vehicle structure from damage. In the design of aerospace vehicles, copper-tungsten alloy is often used as a counterweight material to adjust the center of gravity and stability of the vehicle due to its high density.

In the nuclear industry, copper-tungsten alloy is widely used in the control rods and shielding materials of nuclear reactors due to its good radiation absorption ability, which provides an important guarantee for the safe utilization of nuclear energy.
