Nanostructured (NS) W-Cu composite powder was prepared by mechanical alloying (MA), and nanostructured bulk ofW-Cu contact material was fabricated by hot pressed sintering in an electrical vacuum furnace. The microstructure,electric conductivity, hardness, breakdown voltage and arcing time of NS W-Cu alloys were measured and comparedto conventional W-Cu alloys prepared by powder metallurgy. The results show that microstructural refinement anduniformity can improve the breakdown behavior, the electric arc stability and the arc extinction ability of nanos-tructured W-Cu contacts materials. Also, the nanostructured W-Cu contact material shows the characteristic ofspreading electric arcs, which is of benefit to electric arc erosion.
