Product Information

Elconite

Elconite

Outline

Elconite is a sintered alloy of refractory metals such as tungsten, tungsten carbide and graphite, and high-conductivity metals such as silver and copper. We offer a variety of materials that have unique characteristics depending on the constitution of the alloying contents and additives. Elconite has two main branches, namely electric contact materials and electric discharge machining materials.

Advantages

Elconite for electric contact materials

Elconite for electric discharge machining materials has two main branches. One is copper-based materials, and the other is silver-based materials. Both branches have standardized material (ED1) and improved material (ED2) with higher working speed and higher consumption resistance.

  • Elconite has excellent electric properties that are not found in melted alloys.
  • Elconite offers a wide range of alloy composite materials.
  • Elconite has high arc resistance, high fusing resistance and high abrasion resistance.
  • Elconite has high conductivity and low contact resistance.

Please refer to product catalogues for further properties and cautions for handling.
