Learn how the properties of copper tungsten reduce or eliminate the challenges posed by those materials when they are used in their pure forms.

For EDM electrodes, copper tungsten offers excellent electrical conductivity, DC arcing resistance, thermal conductivity, and wear resistance.

Copper tungsten electrodes combine the thermal resistivity of tungsten with copper’s resistance to DC arcing, making them a smart choice for EDM of carbides.

While graphite is often used, the properties of copper tungsten make it an ideal material for EDM electrodes for certain applications.
