C18200 chromium copper (UNS number) is a high-strength and high-conductivity copper alloy, belonging to the chromium copper (Cu-Cr) series. It possesses excellent heat resistance, wear resistance and fatigue resistance, and is widely used in fields such as resistance welding electrodes, electrical contacts, and high-temperature structural components.
The C18200 copper products we produce eliminate all kinds of defects such as pores and cracks. We have independently developed a variety of new C18200 copper products, with each piece weighing up to 1300 kilograms.
The chemical composition of C18200 mainly includes copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), silicon (Si), etc. Among them, copper is the main component, with the chromium content ranging from 0.6% to 1.2%. The contents of iron, lead and silicon are relatively low, not exceeding 0.10%, 0.05% and 0.10% respectively.
