- Description
Copper 180 round bar (C182 chromium copper) is a high strength, beryllium free copper alloy designed to deliver excellent electrical and thermal conductivity along with improved mechanical strength and durability. Containing small additions of chromium and zirconium, this alloy offers better strength and softening resistance than pure copper grades while maintaining high conductivity. Its excellent weldability and formability make it well suited for fabrication into components exposed to heat, electrical load, and repeated thermal cycling. As a beryllium free alternative to BeCu alloys, C182 is often selected for applications requiring high performance without the use of beryllium.
Applications: Resistance welding electrodes, electrical connectors, heat exchangers, mold cavities, industrial tooling, power components.
