Nanosized Copper Tungsten Alloy from Ammonium Paratungstate

SEM image of W-Cu core-shell nanoparticles

Copper tungsten alloy (W-Cu) is the pseudo-alloy of tungsten and copper, which exhibits some excellent properties such as a high melt point of 3042℃.  Owing to its good thermal and electrical conductivity, low thermal expansion, being non-magnetic, good performance under high temperature and vacuum. It has been widely applied in industry such as electrodes for resistance welding, arc contacts and vacuum contacts in high/medium voltage breakers or vacuum interrupters, electrodes in electric spark erosion cutting machines, heat sinks and heat spreaders for passive cooling of electronic devices, electronic packaging materials, and radio base station components
