Understanding the Materials: A Tale of Two Alloys

Copper Tungsten is a composite material that ingeniously combines the high electrical and thermal conductivity of copper with the exceptional arc erosion resistance and high melting point of tungsten. This unique synergy results in a material that is exceptionally durable under thermal and electrical stress. Common compositions like CuW75 (75% Tungsten) or CuW80 offer an ideal balance, making them indispensable for electrical contacts, EDM electrodes, and heat sinks in highpower electronics and aerospace applications.

Molybdenum, a refractory metal, is prized for its high strength at elevated temperatures, excellent thermal conductivity, and low thermal expansion. It maintains structural integrity in environments where most steels would soften or creep. This makes it a goto material for furnace components, semiconductor manufacturing fixtures, missile and aircraft parts, and glass melting electrodes.

The CNC Machining Challenge and Our Expertise

Machining CuW and Molybdenum is not for every machine shop. Their inherent hardness and, in the case of molybdenum, brittleness, require specialized knowledge and tooling. Our advanced CNC machining capabilities are tailored to overcome these challenges. We employ:

Specialized Tooling: Using polycrystalline diamond (PCD) or carbide tools to manage the abrasive nature of these materials.


Optimized Parameters: Precise control over speeds, feeds, and depth of cut to prevent cracking, chipping, and tool wear.
Strict Process Control: Implementing rigorous quality checks throughout the machining process to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface integrity.
