High‑Strength Alloy 25 Strip – Superior Conductivity & Formability

Materion Brush Performance Alloys’ Alloy 25 strip provides the highest strength of any copper alloy, with electrical conductivity considerably greater than other high strength copper alloys. Since it is heat treated after forming, it provides excellent formability and ductility. This alloy features good stress relaxation resistance and high fatigue strength.
