Copper alloys, such as electrolytic copper (Cu-ETP), beryllium copper (CuBe1 and CuBe2), and chromium zirconium copper (CuCrZr), are widely used in various industrial sectors due to their excellent mechanical and electrical properties. These materials can be supplied in different forms, including plates and round bars, with the possibility of custom dimensions based on specific customer requirements.
- Cu-ETP (Electrolytic Tough Pitch) Copper: This type of copper is known for its high electrical and thermal conductivity, making it ideal for electrical and electronic applications. Its purity and ductility make it suitable for processing techniques such as drawing and rolling.
- Beryllium Copper (CuBe1 and CuBe2): Beryllium copper alloys offer a unique combination of high mechanical strength, hardness, and good electrical conductivity. They are particularly used in the production of springs, electrical contacts, and precision tools that require high wear resistance. The presence of beryllium gives these alloys exceptional fatigue and corrosion resistance.
- Chromium Zirconium Copper (CuCrZr): This alloy is valued for its high hardness and wear resistance while maintaining good electrical conductivity. It is commonly used in the manufacture of resistance welding electrodes, welding machine rollers, and components operating at high temperatures. The addition of chromium and zirconium enhances thermal stability and material durability.
- Sintered Materials: In addition to traditional copper alloys, there are sintered materials that combine copper with refractory elements such as tungsten. These alloys, obtained through powder metallurgy techniques, offer high arc resistance and are used in applications requiring high electrical conductivity and wear resistance, such as welding electrodes and high-performance electrical contacts.
The availability of these alloys in various shapes and sizes allows industries to meet specific needs, ensuring high-quality materials for specialized applications.
