Electrical Tungsten Contact

Electrical Tungsten Contacts are high-performance components made from pure tungsten (≥99.95% W) or W-Cu/W-Ag alloys (10–50% Cu/Ag), shaped as discs/studs for critical electrical switching. Ultra-high melting point (3410°C), superior arc resistance, and low thermal expansion ensure reliable conduction/interruption in high-voltage/high-frequency environments. Powder metallurgy (sintering/pressing) forms dense cores, precision-machined, and welded to copper/steel substrates via automated resistance/laser welding (±5μm alignment), with post-plating (Ni/Au) for corrosion resistance.

Electrical Tungsten Contacts are precision components shaped as discs, studs, or custom forms from pure tungsten (≥99.95% W) or W-Cu/W-Ag alloys (10–50% Cu/Ag). Leveraging a 3410°C melting point and excellent arc resistance, they excel in high-voltage/high-frequency applications like circuit breakers and relays. Powder metallurgy forms dense cores, precision-machined, and welded to copper/steel substrates via automated resistance/laser methods (±5μm alignment). Post-plating (Ni/Au) enhances corrosion resistance. Ultra-high temperature stability, superior arc erosion resistance, and long service life in harsh electrical environments. Critical in power grids (HV circuit breakers) and aerospace (ignition systems), delivering reliable switching for extreme conditions.

Key Features
 

High resistance to wear and corrosion

Electrical tungsten contact is a hard and durable material, exhibiting high resistance to wear and corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability and performance in harsh environments.

Good arc resistance

 

Electrical tungsten contact resistance to arc erosion is crucial in switching applications, where electrical arcs can cause damage and wear to contact surfaces. Tungsten can withstand the effects of arcing more effectively than many other materials.

Thermal management

 

Electrical tungsten contact high thermal conductivity helps dissipate heat generated during operation, contributing to stable and reliable performance.

Durability and long life

 

The combination of high melting point, wear resistance, and arc resistance results in contacts with a longer lifespan and the ability to withstand numerous switching cycles.

 

 
 
Types of Electrical Tungsten Contacts Available
Pure Tungsten Contact

Copper Tungsten Contact Points

These are reliable options for welding and other heavy tasks. Copper makes them stronger and better at handling high temperatures.

Flat Tungsten Contact Points

Cemented Tungsten Carbide Contact Points

Cemented tungsten carbide points are built to last in demanding situations.

Tungsten Electrical Contacts

Ceramic Coated Tungsten Points

Ceramic-coated tungsten points are well suited to harsh, high-temperature environments. The ceramic layer protects the tungsten core from heat damage.

Tungsten Contacts for Electrical Appliances

Copper Infiltrated Tungsten Contact Points

The copper seeps into the tungsten, creating a strong, conductive contact. These points excel in both electrical and thermal conductivity.

 

 
 
Key components
01.

Tungsten Material

Tungsten (or its alloys) forms the core of the contact, chosen for its ability to withstand high temperatures and arcing without significant degradation.

02.

Conductive Substrate

A material like copper or iron provides a strong and conductive base for the tungsten contact, ensuring efficient electrical flow.

03.

Joining Method

Brazing is a common technique to securely attach the tungsten to the substrate, ensuring a robust and reliable connection.

04.

Plating (Optional)

A layer of nickel or gold plating is often added to enhance corrosion resistance and improve surface properties.

A: Yes, we could offer the sample for free charge but do not pay the cost of freight.

Q: What is your terms of payment ?

A: Payment<=1000USD, 100% in advance. Payment>=1000USD, 30% T/T in advance ,balance before delivering.

Q: What is the best metal for electrical contacts?

A: Copper and silver refractory alloys are ideal for higher amperage connections, as they combine the low resistivity of silver/copper with the temperature and pressure resistance of a refractory. This is why they are commonly used as arcing contacts in circuit breakers, switches, and electromechanical relays.
