DESCRIPTION |
Oxygen free high conductivity copper |
Cu-OF/102 |
Specific type of copper where high electrical conductivity is required. |
Electrolytic copper |
Cu-ETP/110 |
Coductivity rating of 100% IACS and 99.9% pure. It has 0.02%-0.04% oxygen content. |
Cap copper |
CuZn5/210 |
Nominal composition of 95% copper and 5% zinc. Slightly greater strength and ductility than Cu-ETP. |
High phosphorous deoxidized copper |
Cu-DHP/122 |
Excellent welding properties and hydrogent embrittlement high resistance. |
Red brass |
CuZn15/230 |
85% copper and 15% zinc. Excellent resistance to stress-corrosion cracking and good ductility. |
Muntz metal |
CuZn40/280 |
60/40 copper alloyed with zinc. It has excellent hot-working properties. |
Cadmium copper |
CuCd1/162 |
99% copper and 1% cadmium. It improves copper's strength with minimal electrical conductivity decrease. |
Commercial bronze |
CuZn10/220 |
90% copper and 10% zinc. It has very good cold formability like bending and stamping. |
Brass |
CuZn35/270 |
65% copper and 35% zinc. It has high strength and plasticity being very usual in many manufactured parts. |
Phosphor bronze |
CuSn5/510 |
Contains 95% copper and 5% tin. It has an excellent combination of strength, corrosion and wear resistance. |
Silicon bronze |
CuSi3Mn/655 |
Well regarded for their combination of strength, corrosion and heat resistance. |
Leaded free cutting brass |
CuZn36Pb3/360 |
Ideally suited for high speed machining, giving special details in thread rolling and knurling characteristics. |
Heat treatable copper alloy |
CuNi2Si/651 |
It is used in applications where heat treatment is necessary, which increases strength and electrical conductivity. |
Naval brass |
CuZn40Si/470 |
It is known for their combination of strength, corrosion resistance and formability. |
