1.1 Overview of Tungsten Copper Alloy

As a composite material composed of tungsten and copper , tungsten copper alloy combines the core advantages of both metals and occupies an irreplaceable position in the industrial field. Tungsten’s high melting point (3422℃), high strength, high hardness and excellent wear resistance complement copper’s high electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity and good plasticity, making tungsten copper alloy able to withstand the test of high temperature environment and maintain stable electrical and thermal conductivity. Therefore, it is widely used in many key fields such as electronics, electricity, aerospace, and national defense.

From the perspective of material properties, the performance of tungsten-copper alloy is not a simple superposition of “tungsten + copper”, but through a reasonable composition ratio and preparation process, the performance is optimized and balanced. For example, in a high-temperature environment, the skeleton structure of tungsten can provide support for the alloy and resist high-temperature deformation, while copper can quickly conduct heat through its own thermal conductivity to avoid local overheating; in conductive scenarios, the conductive advantage of copper can be brought into play, and the addition of tungsten improves the overall strength of the alloy, avoiding the problem of pure copper being easy to wear and easy to deform. This “strong combination” feature makes tungsten-copper alloy an ideal material for dealing with complex working conditions.

With the continuous development of industrial technology, the performance requirements of materials are becoming increasingly stringent, and the research and application of tungsten copper alloys are also continuing to deepen. From the initial basic model to the special ratio alloys customized for different scenarios, its application scope is constantly expanding, and its performance is more accurately meeting various industrial needs. Next, we will have a deeper understanding of this special alloy from two aspects: definition and composition.
