View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.The tungsten carbide-copper Elkonites are press-sinter-infiltrated (PSI) materials with a refractory content ranging from 50 to 70 wt.%. They are strong materials with high properties. They also have good resistance to arc erosion and contact welding. These materials are generally used in oil devices to protect the contact from oxidation.
