Chromium Copper

Chromium copper is a heat treatable, corrosion resistant alloy which combines high electrical conductivity with high strength. It is used in applications such as resistance welding electrodes, seam welding wheels, switch gears, cable connectors, circuit breaker parts, molds, spot welding tips, and electrical and thermal conductors that require strength.


Chromium Copper Product Selection


C18000 Copper Chromium Nickel Silicon (CDA 180)

RWMA Class III
Economical high strength, high conductivity copper base alloy. It is a heat treatable copper base alloy and its excellent properties are obtained largely through heat treatment. Its properties combine high hardness, strength and wear resistance with relatively high electrical and thermal conductivity.
Typical Uses for C18000 Copper Chromium Nickel Silicon:
INDUSTRIAL: Resistance Welding Tips, Resistance Welding Wheels and Fixtures, Stud Welding Collets and Tips, Sprue Bushing, Cavities for Injection Molds, Hot runner Systems for Injection Molds, Welding Dies for Wire and Flash, Blow Pins, Pinch Offs, Mold Cavities for Bold Molds, Blow Pins, Pinch Offs, Mold Cavities for Bold Molds, Cores, Core & Ejector Pins for Injection Molds, Plunger Tips for Metal Die Casting Machines, Heat Sink Inserts in Steel Plastic Molds
Sizes Available From Tremor Alloys
SOLID BAR: 1/2" - 21" diameter
Other Forms and Shapes Also Available.
