Price is for (1 of 5) 8" rod of Elkonite 10W3Premium Elkonite 10W3 (75% Tungsten / 25% Copper) raw stock. This high-density composite provides superior wear and thermal deformation resistance compared to standard copper alloys. Ideal for extreme mechanical loads, high-heat tooling, and precision manufacturing.Resistance Welding
ApplicationsEngineered as a heavy-duty electrode facing or die insert for projection welding, nut/stud welding, and flash butt welding. Unlike standard copper that mushrooms under high clamping forces, 10W3 retains its sharp geometry, resists thermal deformation, prevents sticking, and drastically extends electrode life when running challenging materials like stainless or galvanized steel.Sinker EDM Applications
An exceptional choice for sinker EDM electrodes when burning intricate details into caroffere, tool steels, and exotic aerospace alloys. The high tungsten content significantly minimizes volumetric electrode wear, allowing you to hold tight tolerances on sharp corners and deep cavities without premature erosion. The copper matrix ensures high electrical conductivity for fast burns and excellent surface finishes.Specifications:
