90W10Cu might still be preferred, but someone competent might glance at
these articles in Nature

The final object is formed of approximately 58% ZrC ceramic and 36%
tungsten metal, with small amounts of residual tungsten carbide and
copper. The beauty of the method is that the porous preform is converted
into a non-porous ZrC/tungsten composite of the same dimensions (the
overall volume change is approximately 1–2%).

Ceramic–metal composites for heat exchangers
Here we present a robust composite of ceramic (zirconium carbide, ZrC)
and the refractory metal tungsten (W) for use in printed-circuit-type
heat exchangers at temperatures above 1,023 kelvin9. This composite has
attractive high-temperature thermal, mechanical and chemical properties
and can be processed in a cost-effective manner.
