High melting point refractory metals
PRODUCT > RESISTANCE WELDING
Suitable for high temperature applications!
Realy heavy metals as rod, sheets, foil or wires. We deliver according to your individual specifications and requests!
High-melting metals are characterized in particular by their high melting point, a very low coefficient of thermal expansion and good electrical and thermal conductivity. At room temperature they have a high resistance to acids. They are therefore described as very resistant materials.
Applications: Welding technology, medical technology, lighting industry etc..

Application:EDM electrodes, balance weights, high voltage interrupters, welding electrodes, electrical contacts, darts/sports equipment, aerospace, shielding, power engineering and in various industrial applications. Tungsten copper is used wherever other copper materials are at their performance limits. (welding, eroding)
Handling:
Tungsten copper can be machined well with carbide tools. If the cutting pressure is too high, fine contours can easily break out. A correspondingly small feed rate or grinding machining is therefore recommended for this heterogeneous material. Tungsten copper has a completely fibre-free, fine-grain structure with high hardness and a high modulus of elasticity.
