CuCd1-UNS.C16200 Cadmium Copper Alloys with rods and wires

CuCd1-UNS.C16200 Cadmium Copper alloys

 

CuCd1-UNS.C16200 Cadmium Copper alloy offers a unique combination of high tensile strength and high electrical conductivity for an industry where these properties are generally considered incompatible. The nominal composition of 99.0% copper and 1.0% cadmium can lead to these unique properties.

The cadmium noticeably increases the copper's strength and resistance to softening and stress relaxation with minimal decrease in its electrical conductivity. It also produces an alloy noted for its malleability and toughness and spring quality.

 

Typical Application for CuCd1-UNS.C16200 Cadmium Copper alloys:

Electrical Industry: Resistance Welding Electrodes, Circuit Breaker Switches, Stud Bases for Power Transmitters, Electrical Conductor Material

Consumer: Rod Extensions, Pencil-type, Light Soldering Guns, Tips

Industrial: Connectors, Solderless Wrapped, Welding Wheels, Trolley Wires
