A tungsten-copper disc is a circular, flat-shaped component made from a composite material that blends the high density and strength of tungsten (W) with the excellent thermal and electrical conductivity of copper (Cu). This alloy is designed to provide a combination of the properties required in high-performance applications, especially where both heat resistance and conductivity are essential. Tungsten-copper discs are commonly used in industries like aerospace, electronics, manufacturing, and medical technologies. Properties: · Density: Tungsten-copper discs have a high density, which lies between the densities of pure tungsten and pure copper. This makes the material suitable for applications requiring high mass or weight, such as counterweights or radiation shielding. · Color and Appearance: Tungsten-copper discs typically have a metallic gray or brownish color, which reflects the tungsten content, while the copper content may give a reddish hue to the surface. The surface can be smooth or finished depending on the manufacturing and machining processes. · Thickness and Diameter: Tungsten-copper discs can be manufactured in a wide range of diameters and thicknesses. Custom sizes can be created to meet specific design and performance requirements. Applications of Tungsten-Copper Disc: · Electrical Contacts: Tungsten-copper discs are used in electrical contacts for high-voltage circuits, commutators, and other components that need to handle high current while effectively managing heat. · Heat Sinks: The high thermal conductivity of tungsten-copper alloys makes these discs ideal for heat dissipation in electronic devices and power electronics that generate large amounts of heat. · Radiation Shielding: Tungsten-copper discs are often used in radiation shielding applications, such as in X-ray machines or CT scanners, where both the high density (for radiation shielding) and heat dissipation properties are essential. · Heat Shields and Components: The high density and heat resistance make tungsten-copper discs ideal for aerospace applications, such as rocket nozzles, heat shields, and re-entry vehicle components.
