Chromium Copper

ABCO ENGINEERING INC stands out as a prominent manufacturer and stockist specializing in Cadmium Copper for various industries. Chromium copper alloys, renowned for their exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity, are a key focus for the company. These alloys are age-hardenable due to the precipitation of chromium from the solid solution at elevated temperatures, leading to a transformation in their characteristics. Manufacturer of Chromium Copper in Mumbai,India. 

Fully aged chromium copper exhibits strength surpassing that of pure copper by more than two times, maintaining a remarkable conductivity of 85% IACS. The alloys retain their strength even at high temperatures, making them ideal for demanding applications. Notably, chromium copper alloys boast enhanced corrosion resistance compared to pure copper, owing to the positive influence of chromium on the protective oxide film’s chemical characteristics.

Chromium copper excels in both cold and hot workability, finding versatile applications in various industries. Its excellent cold formability and good hot workability make it a preferred choice for items such as resistance welding electrodes, seam welding wheels, switch gears, cable connectors, circuit breaker components, molds, spot welding tips, as well as electrical and thermal conductors requiring robust strength.

The age-hardening reaction in chromium copper occurs due to the decrease in the solid solubility of chromium in copper as the temperature decreases. For optimal mechanical properties, fast-cooling the chromium copper alloys from the annealing temperature is crucial, ensuring that chromium remains in a supersaturated solid solution with copper.
