CuNi3Si+Cr

  SPECIFICATIONS:
  DIN ASTM RWMA
  w.nr.~2.1295 C 18000 Class III

  CHEMICAL COMPOSITION :
  Ni Si Cr Others Cu
  2,4 0,7 0,4 0,2 Balance
  DESCRIPTION OF THE MATERIAL:
  Containg approximately 2,4% Nickel, 0,7% Silicium and 0,4% Chromium after hot forging and heat treatment processes this alloy gains relatively good hardness, electrical and thermal conductivity. CuNi3Si+Cr is an alternative to CuCoNiBe alloy without contaning Berylium.

  APPLICATIONS:
  Spot welding electrodes, electrode holders and seam welding discs in resistance welding. Plunger tips in Aluminium Die Casting machines. Injection nozzles, cooling pins in plastic injection machines. Moulds for casting of non-ferrous material. Chill moulds in casting of brass and bronze material. Due to its good surface quality, homogen and fast cooling rate this alloy has an excelent working performance. CuNi3Si+Cr alloy is an Beryllium free alternative to CuCoNiBe alloy
