W85/Cu15 Polished tungsten copper is used for arcing contacts in SF6 circuit breakers for ultra high, high and medium voltage applications. At the heart of the switching chamber, WCu contacts are exposed to extreme mechanical and thermal loads: When the circuit is opened and closed, the arc starts directly at the switch contacts at a temperature of up to 20 000 °C.

W80/Cu20 Polished tungsten copper is popular because of its combination of unique material properties. Ahigh level of temperature resistance is one of the most important advantages of tungsten, while the copper content increases the electrical and thermal conductivity. Contact materials made of WCu are also characterized by the following properties:

• Good electrical conductivity
• Excellent strength
• Very good machinability 
• Good thermal conductivity
• Low thermal expansion 
• High arc erosion resis
