CC102 / CW106C is a high copper alloy containing a small amount of chromium that improve its mechanical performance. Copper on its own has outstanding electrical and heat transfer properties but is soft and ductile. However the small additions of these elements followed by a suitable heat treatment significantly increases strength while retaining high conductivity values.
This gives a high performance alloy which has traditionally been used for resistance welding equipment, switchgear components, circuit breakers parts, rotating electrical machinery, current carrying arms and shafts, switch contacts, heat sinks, MIG welding contact tubes, soldering iron tips, and many other electrical and thermal conductors requiring greater strength than copper.
