Chromium-Zirconium-Copper Switch Contacts

Chromium-zirconium copper develops unique characteristics from a combination of heat treatment and cold working. These unique characteristics include high mechanical and physical properties. Because of these properties, this type of copper alloy, which is also wear and explosion-resistant, is a great choice to serve as material for aerospace electrodes. It also has high electrical and thermal conductivity, high softening temperature, and is resistant to wear, cracking, and thermal softening. Likewise, alloys of this type are used for electrical and thermal conductive nozzles, switch contacts, and other materials that are resistant to high temperatures. Also, they are utilised in aerospace, electronics, and power industries, microelectronic materials, electrodes for electrical discharge machining, and high-voltage switches. On the other hand, Beryllium copper is utilised in battery parts for mobile phones and high-grade computers, and in automotive parts, micro-motors, and brush pins as well. It is also used in wear-resistant parts such as gears and cams, high-grade bearings, eyeglass parts, contact parts, various sparkless switches, some welding electrodes, and precision casting moulds.
