EN 12168 Grade CuSP H080 – Low Alloy Copper with High Conductivity and Cold‑Forming Strength
CuSP, mat. No CW114C, is counted among unhardenable, low alloyed copper alloys. To the comparable make CuSP, mat. No 2.1498, acc. to DIN 17666 : 1983-12 applies: A strength increase is achievable only by cold forming. Already low S-contents increase the temperature for removal of workhardening to approx. 300°C. CuSP shows roughly the same electrical and thermal conductivity as pure copper. The corrosion resistance is equal to unalloyed copper. Processing properties: hot forming: moderately cold forming: good machinability: very good soft soldering: good hard soldering: moderately gas shielded welding: unfavorable burnishing: good Application: For screw machine parts and clamps in electronics, for nozzle, welding and cutting torches as well as for engine parts, valves and fittings.
