The invention provides a method for connecting a tungsten material with a copper material, and belongs to the technical field of metal powder metallurgy. Copper powder is laid around the butt joint of the tungsten material and the copper material, and the copper powder is pre-pressed to 30-80% of theoretical density of the copper; the copper powder is heated to the temperature condition of 700 DEG C to 1070 DEG C in a vacuum or reducing atmosphere, and then is reduced and pre-sintered for more than 30 min to form a pre-sintered workpiece; explosive-compacting is carried out on the butt joint of the pre-sintered workpiece to reach more than 95% of the theoretical density of the copper; the workpiece subjected to explosive-compacting is placed under the temperature condition of 800 DEG C to 1070 DEG C, and diffusion sintering is carried out on the workpiece for more than 30 min; and the workpiece is cooled along with a furnace to realize the connection between the tungsten material and the copper material. By providing a simple device, the tungsten and the copper can be connected in a short time, the preparation cost is low, and the industrial production is facilitated. Due to the fact that the sintering temperature is not higher than 950 DEG C, the generation of tungsten grains in the tungsten material can be avoided. Through hydrogen-introduced sintering, the oxygen content in a copper coating and the tungsten material can be greatly reduced, and the mechanical property of the material is improved.
