Copper Tungsten Rods

Tungsten copper bar has a ground finish and is manufactured via pressing and sintering.

Copper tungsten rods. Ceriated tungsten and copper tungsten rod types are often used for electrodes and other electrical applications. The copper tungsten round rod is ground to achieve the precise shape and size meets american welding society rwma class 10 specifications and has a precision tolerance. As copper and tungsten are not mutually soluble the material is composed of distinct particles of one metal dispersed in a matrix of the other one. Copper tungsten provides high wear resistance electrical and thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance can be widely used for edm welding electrical resistance welding.

Ceriated tungsten contains a small percentage of cerium which also works well for orbital tube and pipe fabrication. Consisting of pure tungsten w powder suspended in a matrix of copper cu these alloys are readily machinable and known for good thermal and electrical conductivity low thermal expansion being non magnetic good performance under vacuum and resistance to erosion from arcing. The microstructure is therefore rather a metal matrix composite instead of a true alloy. This tungsten copper rod meets international standards and is available for immediate free shipping.

Copper tungsten cuw wcu has been recognized as a highly conductive and ablation resistant composite material which is extensively used as copper tungsten or tungsten copper rods contacts in high voltage applications tungsten copper heat sinks and electronic packaging material in thermal applications and electrode in resistance welding and edm applications. Copper tungsten provides high wear resistance electrical and thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. Copper tungsten silver tungsten silver tungsten alloys contain between 25 50 silver and are mainly used for electrical contacts generally heavy duty devices subject to high current. Orders will usually ship same day if we receive the order by 1pm cst.

The copper tungsten round rod is ground to achieve the precise shape and size meets american welding society rwma class 10 specifications and has a precision tolerance. Eagle alloys corporation can supply commercially pure unalloyed tungsten in a wide variety of sizes and shapes for immediate shipping or we can supply custom sizes shapes and finished parts with a short lead time. Tungsten copper rods are formed by tightly controlled pressing and infiltrating processes. And then the copper tungsten rod needs to go through a continuously rotary swaging in the 1100 f to 1500 f temperature range until meeting the straightening criterion and removing the copper residual from the surface.

Rods may be ground to achieve their precise shape and size and they may have a precision tolerance if specified. All rods are lot controlled and ship with a material certificate upon request. Copper tungsten tungsten copper cuw or wcu is a mixture of copper and tungsten. Thus they are often used as electrical contacts particularly in high voltage applications.
