Refractory Metals
MarkeTech WCu10 Tungsten Copper Alloy  (discontinued **)
Categories: Metal; Nonferrous Metal; Refractory Metal; Tungsten Alloy

Material Notes: Used to fabricate parts to near net size and several processes to produce high quality tungsten based materials.

Tungsten heavy alloys have very high melting point and have a density twice that of steel and are more than 50% heavier than lead. Due to their high density, tungsten alloys offer greater radiation shielding than lead and are non-toxic. Tungsten alloys are electrically and thermal conductive and offer good corrosion resistance. They also have a low coefficient of expansion and have a high modulus of elasticity. Because of these unique properties tungsten alloys are used extensively in military applications, balance weights, aircraft components, nuclear and medical shields, fishing and sport tackle, rocket components, tool vibration dampers, electrical contacts, etc.

Applications:

  • Nuclear and medical radiation shielding for x-ray and shields for radiation therapy and industrial applications.
  • Aircraft and helicopter rotor balance weights
  • Instrument balance weights
  • Weights for sport equipment
  • Tool damping cutter bars
  • High voltage contacts

Materials flagged as discontinued () are no longer part of the manufacturer’s standard product line according to our latest information. These materials may be available by special order, in distribution inventory, or reinstated as an active product. Data sheets from materials that are no longer available remain in MatWeb to assist users in finding replacement materials.

Users of our Advanced Search (registration required) may exclude discontinued materials from search results.

Some of the values displayed above may have been converted from their original units and/or rounded in order to display the information in a consistent format. Users requiring more precise data for scientific or engineering calculations can click on the property value to see the original value as well as raw conversions to equivalent units. We advise that you only use the original value or one of its raw conversions in your calculations to minimize rounding error.
