C18150 Details & Applications:
C18150 Chromium Zirconium Copper
CuCr1Zr UNS.C18150 Chromium Zirconium Copper C18150 is an excellent and unique
copper alloy with high electrical conductivity, hardness, and ductility, moderate strength, and
excellent resistance to softening at elevated temperatures. The addition of 0.1% zirconium (Zr) and
1.0% chromium (Cr) to copper results in a heat treatable alloy which may be solution treated and
subsequently aged to produce these desirable properties. Rod is usually supplied from the mill in
the fully aged and drawn condition so no further heat treatment is required by the fabricator. The
softening temperature of properly heat treated C18150 rod exceeds 500C as compared to
unalloyed pure copper which softens at 200C, and silver bearing coppers which soften at 350C.
Furthermore, many evidences shows that C18150 can provide less sticking and resisting
deformation longer than its C18200 counterpart in some specific situatons.
