Copper alloy
The Properties & Applications of Copper Alloy
Copper-based materials are suitable for a wide range of applications due to the unique combination of various properties such as:
– high electrical and thermal conductivity
– outstanding corrosion resistance
– good forming and processing properties
– excellent suitability for surface coating
Special high copper alloys can be optimized through a heat treatment. The alloying elements which are finely distributed as precipitations result in a better property combination of:
– high strength
– good formability
– high conductivity
– stress relaxation resistance
– fatigue resistance
