Tungsten Copper (WCu) is a composite material consisting of tungsten (W) and copper (Cu), typically containing 70-90% tungsten by weight. It has a high thermal conductivity, high strength, and good electrical conductivity, making it suitable for a variety of applications in electronics, aerospace, and other industries.

WCu is commonly used in electrical contacts, as its high thermal conductivity and low coefficient of thermal expansion help to dissipate heat and minimize thermal stress. It is also used in heat sinks, where its high thermal conductivity and low density make it an effective material for dissipating heat in electronic devices.

In addition, WCu can be used in the aerospace industry for applications such as rocket nozzles, where its high strength and resistance to high temperatures make it suitable for use in extreme environments.

WCu is typically produced by powder metallurgy, where tungsten and copper powders are mixed together and then consolidated under high temperature and pressure. The resulting material can be further processed into various shapes and sizes, such as rods, plates, and tubes, to meet specific application requirements.
