Tungsten-copper alloys are pseudo-alloys of copper and the refractory metal tungsten. Since copper and tungsten are immiscible, the material consists of different particles of one metal dispersed in a matrix of another metal. As a result, the microstructure is a metal matrix composite rather than a true alloy. It combines the properties of two metals to form a material that is heat, ablation resistant, highly thermally and electrically conductive, and easy to process. It is also resistant to arc corrosion,…
