    Copper Tungsten Alloys

    Eagle Alloys Corporation can supply the below grades of Copper Tungsten metal composite materials as
    well as custom grades to meet your specific needs. Eagle Alloys can supply various sizes and
    compositions for immediate shipping or we can supply custom grades, shapes and finished parts with a
    short lead time. These metal composite materials produce dense hard metals with low thermal
    expansion, good thermal and electrical conductivity, excellent arc resistance, superior wear resistance
    and strength at elevated temperatures.

    Forms Available
    Wire, rod, bar, strip, foil, sheet, plate, tubing, blanks, semi-finished and custom finished parts.

    EA Copper Tungsten Alloys are DFARS Compliant since they are not listed as a specialty metal and
    therefore not subject to the qualifying country clause.

    Eagle Alloys supplies DRC Conflict Free material only.

    Copper Tungsten Alloys Typical Applications


    High temperature furnace components, heat sinks, EDM electrodes, high-voltage discharge tubes, high
    voltage arc contacts, electrical contacts, vacuum contacts, electrodes for resistance welding and spark
    erosion, leaders, balance weights, dies for castings, spreaders, microwave carriers, hermetic package
    bases and housings, ceramic substrate carriers, medical components, heating elements, high speed
    tools.
    Machining Copper Tungsten Alloys
    Copper Tungsten composites machine like gray cast iron. These alloys can be bored, cut, drilled, ground,
    sawed, tapped, and turned. Copper Tungsten Alloys use speeds and feeds similar to Gray Cast Iron.
    Copper Tungsten Alloy become easier to machine as the copper content increases. The more tungsten
    content present the more care must be taken when machining. Carbide tools are suggested for most
    cases and a coolant is optional.

    Cutting and Sawing


    When sawing, use a bi-metal blade; blade pitch should be relative to the thickness of the material.
    Coarse blades can be run at low speeds, and finer blades run at higher speeds. Coolant can be used.
    Material can also be cut using high-speed abrasive cutoff wheels.

    Drilling
    Carbide tooling is suggested. Increased clearance angles and automatic feeds are often used to avoid
    binding and seizing. Carbide drills will give a better tool life.
    Grinding - Use aluminum oxide or silicon carbide wheels of medium hardness.

    Milling
    Carbide cutters are suggested.
    Roughing - Feeds of .007" to .015" per tooth at speeds of 200 to 400 SFM.
    Finishing - Feeds of .003" to .010" per tooth at speeds of 300 to 700 SFM.

    Tapping
    Use high-speed steel or carbide, two flute plug spiral point taps. A light tapping fluid is recommended.

    Turning and Boring


    Carbide inserted cutters are suggested.
    Roughing - Cutting depth of .030" to .125" and .008" to .015" feed, at 200 to300 SFM.
    Finishing - .010" to .015" cutting depth and .004" to .010" feed, at 250 to 400 SFM.
