Tungsten-Copper Sheet is a composite material that combines the exceptional properties of both tungsten (W) and copper (Cu), offering a unique blend of high density, heat resistance, electrical conductivity, and machinability. This alloy is used in applications that require both the extreme heat resistance and strength of tungsten, combined with the excellent thermal and electrical conductivity of copper.
Properties:
· Density: Tungsten-copper sheets are dense, with a specific gravity that lies between that of pure tungsten and pure copper. The density depends on the ratio of tungsten to copper, but it remains significantly higher than most common metals. This makes them useful for applications that require weight and stability in compact forms.
· Color and Appearance: Tungsten copper sheets typically have a metallic, steel-gray or brownish color, with a smooth surface that may be finished through machining, polishing, or grinding processes. The copper content can give the surface a slightly reddish hue depending on the ratio.
· Thickness and Dimensions: Tungsten-copper sheets are available in various thicknesses, ranging from thin foils to thicker sheets, and can be custom-manufactured to meet specific size requirements. The sheets can be precision-cut or machined to fit specific designs.
Applications of Tungsten-Copper Sheet:
· Electrical and Electronics:
Electrical Contacts and Commutators: Tungsten-copper sheets are used in electrical components that require both high conductivity and high resistance to wear and heat, such as electrical contacts in high-voltage switches and commutators.
· Aerospace and Defense:
Heat Shields: Due to their high-temperature stability and excellent heat dissipation properties, tungsten-copper sheets are used in aerospace applications like heat shields and rocket nozzles.
· Nuclear Industry:
Tungsten-copper sheets are used in nuclear reactors for radiation shielding and high-temperature applications where both mechanical strength and heat management are essential.
