Applications for WCu Electrodes

Due to their high arc resistance, high temperature strength and their properties in terms of conductivity, electrodes made of WCu are used in a variety of industrial applications.
  • Electrical power surge protection

WCu electrodes protect electrical systems used in the industry and in households effectively against damages in the occurrence of power surges, for example in the case of a lightning strike.

  • Resistance Welding

With all its variants (e.g. spot welding, seam welding etc.) resistance welding has become an important mass-production process, for example in the production of electronic components and in the automotive sector.

  • Laser applications

WCu is well-suited as an electrode material for the gas laser (Excimer Laser), as its reaction around aggressive gases remains extremely stabile.

Our product contribution:

  • Pre-forms for the production of resistance welding electrodes as well as finished electrodes to customer drawings
