Copper Alloy Pressings

The combination of copper with other metals such as zinc, tin, or nickel creates alloys that enhance specific characteristics like strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity. Each alloy inherits specific properties from the additional metal, enhancing the characteristics of copper.

Material Properties

In the pressing process, copper alloy materials can be shaped into precise components while maintaining their structural integrity.

Strength and Durability: The addition of zinc in brass and tin in bronze enhances the tensile strength of copper. This increased strength helps components that experience mechanical stress.
Corrosion Resistance: Copper’s natural corrosion resistance is improved when combined with metals like zinc or tin, extending the lifespan of pressed components in sectors open to the elements.
Thermal and Electrical Conductivity: While copper itself is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, the addition of nickel can improve the overall conductivity of copper-nickel alloys.
Ductility: The ductility of copper is enhanced by the addition of metals like zinc in brass. This allows for easy forming during the pressing process, enabling the creation of complex shapes while minimizing the risk of cracking or deforming the material.

Industrial Applications

Copper alloy pressings are used across a wide range of industries:

Military: In military vehicles and equipment, these pressings are vital for electrical contacts and connectors, ensuring high conductivity and durability in demanding conditions.
Electronics: Essential for producing conductive parts in circuit boards and connectors, copper alloy pressings meet the high demands of the electronics sector.
Marine and Offshore: These pressings provide superior corrosion resistance, making them ideal for fittings and connectors in harsh saltwater environments.
Heating and Plumbing: Their corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity make them perfect for plumbing fixtures, enhancing safety and efficiency.
