Copper Alloy C10200

  • Copper Alloy C10200
  • General Characteristics

    C10200 is an oxygen-free copper, which is used mainly in electronics due to high electrical conductivity. This high purity alloy (99.95 Cu+Ag) is produced without the use of metal or metalloid deoxidizers. Excessive amounts of impurities reduce conductivity. This alloy has excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion and can be fabricated by a variety of hot and cold methods. Typical applications: busbars, bus conductors, waveguides, hollow conductors, lead-in wires and anodes for vacuum tubes, vacuum seals, transistor components, glass to metal seals, coaxial cables, klystrons, microwave tubes and rectifiers.
