Product Features
The electrode uses a tungsten copper inlaid contact area to improve wear resistance and thermal stability at the welding point. Tungsten copper combines the high-temperature resistance of tungsten with the electrical and thermal conductivity of copper, making it suitable for demanding resistance welding applications.
The inlaid structure helps reduce rapid wear on the contact surface, maintain stable welding quality, and extend electrode service life in repeated production cycles.
The extended head structure allows the electrode to reach welding positions that may be difficult to access with standard electrode shapes. It is especially useful for workpieces with limited space, deep welding points, special fixture layouts, or complex component geometry.
This design helps improve welding accessibility while maintaining stable electrode contact and accurate positioning during operation.
The copper alloy body provides stable current transmission and efficient heat dissipation during welding. Good conductivity helps reduce current loss and supports consistent weld formation.
By combining a conductive copper alloy base with a wear-resistant tungsten copper insert, the electrode achieves a balance between welding efficiency, durability, and process stability.
Each electrode is manufactured through precision CNC machining to ensure accurate dimensions, stable assembly, and clean structural details. Precise processing helps the electrode fit welding heads, holders, and fixtures properly, reducing installation deviation and improving production reliability.
Custom machining is available for special head extensions, stepped profiles, grooves, holes, angled surfaces, and non-standard mounting structures.
The tungsten copper insert improves the electrode’s resistance to thermal impact, deformation, and surface wear. This is especially important in welding applications where the contact area is exposed to repeated pressure, current, and heat.
A more durable contact surface helps reduce maintenance frequency, improve welding consistency, and lower replacement costs in continuous production.
Applications
The Head Extension with Tungsten Copper Inlaid Electrode is suitable for a wide range of resistance welding applications, including:
Automotive parts welding
Electrical terminals and connectors
Precision hardware components

Components requiring wear-resistant electrode contact surfaces
It is particularly suitable for applications where standard copper electrodes wear quickly or cannot reach the required welding position effectively.
Lap Welding Process
During resistance welding, current passes through the electrode and workpiece to generate localized heat at the welding point. The electrode must provide stable conductivity, proper pressure, and reliable heat control to form a consistent weld.
The tungsten copper inlaid contact area helps maintain the shape and stability of the working surface under repeated welding cycles. The extended head design improves access to the target welding area, while the copper alloy body supports efficient current and heat transfer.
