Copper tungsten alloy properties

One of the distinctive features of copper-tungsten alloys is their high melting point. The melting point of tungsten is as high as 3410°C, making copper-tungsten alloys able to withstand extremely high temperatures without melting, a characteristic that makes them ideal for use in high-temperature environments, for example, as electrode materials for arc welding, where they can withstand the high-temperature arcs generated during welding without being deformed. At the same time, copper's excellent electrical conductivity ensures the alloy's efficient use in power transmission, while tungsten's high density makes the alloy play an important role in radiation protection, aerospace and other fields.

Copper-tungsten alloys are also known for their outstanding hardness and wear resistance. In environments where friction and wear are severe, such as drill bits for oil drilling and blades for cutting tools, copper-tungsten alloys greatly extend service life and reduce replacement frequency due to their good wear resistance, resulting in improved efficiency and cost savings. In addition, the alloy's high strength and good toughness, so that in the face of complex and variable stress environment, can still maintain the stability and reliability of the structure.
