A large num ber of copper alloys

have been developed fo r a w ide

high corrosion resistan ce, high

metals are judged.

alloys of copper a nd t in offer acombination of properties such as

Material Selection Criteria

Som e of the criteria com m only considered

in the selection of copper and copper-based

alloys are show n below :

Mat erial Properties

Strength (tensile, proof or shear)

C orrosion resistance

D uctility

H ardness

Therm al conductivity

Im pact resistance

Electrical conductivity

Fatigue resistance

M agnetic perm eability

Effect of tem perature on properties

W ear resistance

Tolerances on dim ensions

C onsistency of properties

M aterial speci cations

Production Considerat ionsM achinability

Initial cost

Ease of joining

Ease of nishing

Value of process scrap

Q uality assurance

Marketing Considerations

Packaging costs

Lifetim e reliabilityTotal cost

U nforeseen problem s

Total lifetim e costs (and residual value)

In com parison w ith m ost other m aterials

copper and its alloys score w ell w hen the

above are considered. Because of the m any

years of experience of usage that are

available, the likelihood of unforeseen

problem s is rem ote.

In this brochure you w ill nd m aterial of all

types w ith a balance of these properties to

suit m ost applications. C hoice of alloy type
