C18150 Introduction
Chromium-zirconium copper is a wear-resistant copper, with excellent hardness, excellent electrical conductivity and good temper resistance, good upright, thin sheet is not easy to bend, is a good aviation material processing electrode hardness 75(Brinell) density 8.95g/cm3 electrical conductivity 43MS/m softening temperature 550, Generally used for making welding machine electrodes with operating temperature below 350. The commutator plate of the motor and other kinds of work at high temperature require high strength. Hardness, electrical conductivity and conductivity parts, also can be used in the form of bimetal brake discs and disks. CuCrlZr, ASTM C18150 C18200

Key Features
A high copper alloy with small additions of chromium and zirconium, that can be heat treated by quench and precipitation hardening.The addition of Zirconium helps prevent electrode sticking during the spot welding of galvanised steel.
Typical Uses
A high copper alloy with extremely good electrical and heat conductivity that is strengthened by heat treatment.
Electrical
The main applications are for electrical connectors,switch gear and circuit breakers which require higher mechanical properties.It is also used in generators for commutor bars and end rings for electric motors.
Mechanical/Electrical
Used for welding wheels,spotwelding electrodes.seam welding wheels and tips.Electrode holders and arms; oxygen jet tips. Moulds inserts for non ferrous casting moulds
