Copper, Brass, Alubronze,
Cuni, and Monel 400
There are 400 copper alloys. Each of them has a unique combination of properties that can suit a specific application and production process.
Copper
“Pure” copper is the alloy with the highest capacity for conducting electricity and exchanging heat between various metals. Another important characteristic it has is its corrosion resistance.
It is for this reason that it is used mainly in sectors that involve:
- Low / medium voltage
- High voltage
- Electric cars
Its specific weight is about 8.94 kg / dm3.
Copper
- Cu ETP CW004A
- Cu Be2 CW101C
- Cu Cr1 Zr CW106C
- Cu Ni2 Si CW111C
- Cu-OF CW008A
Brass
Brass is an alloy made up of copper and zinc.
Its properties vary, according to the percentage of the latter:
- Hardness
- Anti-bacterial
- Mechanical strength
- Heat exchanging
- Corrosion resistance
- Very high workability
Thanks to these characteristics, it is used in various sectors, such as:
- Nautical
- Liquid separators
- Railway
- Domestic appliances
Its specific weight is about 8.45 kg / dm3
Brass
- Cu Zn40 Pb2 CW 617N
- Cu Zn39 Pb2 CW 612N
- Cu Zn39 Sn1 CW 719N
- Cu Zn36 Pb2 As CW 602N
AluBronze
The (AluBronze) aluminium – copper alloy is known for its high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
Thanks to these characteristics, it is used in various sectors, such as:
- Nautical
- Defence
- Valves
- Food
- Chemical
Its specific weight is about 7.8 kg / dm3
alubronze
- Cu AI7 Si2 ST UNI EN 12420 CW 302G
- Cu AIB Fe3 ST UNI EN 12420 CW 303G
- Cu AI10 Ni5 Fe4 ST UNI EN 12420 CW 307G
CuproNickel
CuproNickel (CuNi) is characterised by high corrosion resistance and, thanks to its nickel content, the copper attains better characteristics.
Thanks to these characteristics, it is used in various sectors, such as:
- Nautical
- Defence
- Valves
- Food
- Chemical
Cupronickel
- ASTM B151-Cu Ni30 Mn1 Fe CW354H
- ASTM B122-Cu Ni30 Mn1 Fe CW354H
- ASTM B151-Cu Ni10 Mn Fe1 CW352H
- ASTM B122-Cu Ni10 Mn Fe1 CW352H
Monel 400
Monel 400 has excellent toughness and corrosion resistance
Thanks to these characteristics, it is used in various sectors, such as:
- Nautical
- Defence
- Valves
- Food
- Chemical
Its specific weight is about 7.8 kg / dm3
