High Copper Alloys CuCo2Be (CW104C)
CuCo2Be combines high strength with good electrical conductivity, sitting between CuCr1Zr, which conducts even better, and CuBe2, which is even stronger. Under EN it is designated CW104C, the material number is 2.1285. For resistance welding electrodes, CuCo2Be is the right choice where CuCr1Zr reaches its mechanical limit.
We supply CuCo2Be as round bars, flat bars and hexagonal bars ex stock. Cut to your dimensions, no minimum order.
