Copper Alloys – Versatile Materials for Precision and Performance

Copper alloys are renowned for their excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, outstanding corrosion resistance, and superior formability. With a balanced combination of mechanical strength and workability, copper alloys are essential materials in industries ranging from electronics and automotive to marine and precision engineering.

Copper Alloys – Versatile Materials for Precision and Performance Description

Key Material Advantages

Exceptional Electrical and Thermal Conductivity: Ideal for power transmission, heat exchangers, and electronic components.

High Corrosion Resistance: Performs well in marine, industrial, and chemical environments; resists tarnishing and degradation.

Superior Machinability and Formability: Easily forged, extruded, or machined into complex shapes with high dimensional accuracy.

Antimicrobial Properties: Naturally inhibits bacterial growth, making it suitable for sanitary and medical applications.

Good Strength and Wear Resistance: Select copper alloys (e.g., bronze and beryllium copper) offer high fatigue resistance and excellent mechanical durability.

 

Common Grades

Brass (Copper-Zinc Alloys): H62, H65, C26000 – Good for general mechanical and decorative use

Bronze (Copper-Tin and Copper-Aluminum Alloys): QSn6.5-0.1, C95400 – Known for strength and wear resistance

Beryllium Copper: C17200, QBe2.0 – Exceptional hardness and conductivity

High-Conductivity Copper: T1, C11000 – Electrical and electronic applications

Cu-Ni Alloys (Copper-Nickel): BFe10-1-1, C70600 – Marine and corrosion-prone applications
