C18000 Copper Nickel Silicon Chromium-RWMA Class 3
MasterSource offers a complete line of Copper Alloy C18000 inventory as noted below.
Copper Alloy UNS C18000
RWMA DESCRIPTION
Heat treatable copper alloys with a combination of high tensile
strength and good electrical and thermal properties. Should be
used in heat—treated condition.
RWMA GENERAL USE
High hardness makes them ideal for electrodes for spot and seam
welding of high resistance materials such as stainless steels,
nichrome, inconel, and monel metal. As a casting, they are used
for flash, butt and projection welding electrodes and fixtures.
Other uses are welding gun components, seam welding bearing and
other current carrying structural parts.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A very hard heat treatable copper with moderate electrical
conductivity. C18000 is utilized when a combination of very good
mechanical strength along with moderate electrical and thermal
electrical conductivity are required. C18000 offers excellent
value for the properties it offers. C18000 is a viable
substitute for C17500 and C17510 in many applications.
