CDA 110 Electrolytic Tough Pitch Copper
CDA 110 Electrolytic Tough Pitch copper is a soft, ductile, material that offers outstanding electrical & thermal conductivity, excellent cold formability, and fantastic corrosion resistance. Its inherent fabrication qualities allow it to be bent, soldered, drilled, riveted, and formed to fit almost any specification. Typical industrial uses include architecture, automotive, building, electrical, fasteners, & stamping.
CDA 145 Tellurium Copper
CDA 145 Tellurium Copper is used for forgings, screw machine parts or any parts requiring high conductivity, extensive machining, and or corrosion resistance. The addition of Tellurium results in short, clean chips and allows for higher cutting speeds than that of pure copper, with much less wear on tool life. Typical uses include electrical connectors, motor or switch parts, plumbing fittings, welding torch tips, and transistor bases.
CDA 172 Beryllium Copper
CDA Beryllium Copper is the most universally used beryllium copper alloy and is known to demonstrate higher strength and hardness when compared to commercial copper alloys. It has strength and hardness characteristics that are comparable to steel. It is also recognized as an alloy that has outstanding wear & corrosion resistance, thermal fatigue, and thermal conductivity. Typical applications are electrical switches and connectors, fasteners, mold inserts, pump parts and valve seats.
