   Application                                                                                                   Top
MIPALLOY 3

Recommended for spot and seam welding of cold and hot rolled steels and coated materials, current carrying arms & shafts, back-up bars for both resistance and arc welding and electrical current carrying structural parts, electrical contacts, EDM electrodes, continuous casting mould plates, welding nozzles. Chromium Copper is particularly suitable for applications where considerably higher strength than what is achievable with Copper in conjunction with higher electrical & thermal conductivity. It can also be used as commutator segment material for machines which are required to operate at temperatures above those normally encountered in electrical machines. In the form of forging the material is used for cylinder heads of internal combustion engines particularly for Air Crafts. The use of Chromium Copper plates has been advocated for walls of Junker type water cooled moulds for the brass industry. Forged heat treated Chromium Copper components are used extensively in the switchgear industry as contact members of extra high voltage circuit breakers.

MIPALLOY 3ZR

Similar in composition to Mipalloy 3 but has a small addition of Zirconium. Used for the same applications as that of Mipalloy 3. Mipalloy 3ZR retains its properties at elevated temperatures and under good practical conditions can provide a longer life. Recommended for coated steels. Most suitable as electrode material for welding coated steels. The Zirconium content discourages brass build up on tips. Used for electrical contacts, EDM electrodes, continuous casting mould plates, welding nozzles.

MIPALLOY 100

Recommended for spot and seam welding of stainless steel and high temperature heat resisting alloys requiring high weld forces, flash butt welding dies, back-up bars, projection welding electrodes, high strength, high conductivity electrical component and springs, electrical contacts, EDM electrodes, plastic moulds, continuous wire casting dies.

MIPALLOY 4 Recommended for Manufacture of Stud Welder Collets, Plunger Tips. This material ha excellent spring properties & very high hardness
TUNGSTEN COPPER

Recommended for use as flash butt welding die inserts, electrical upsetting, electro-forging dies, facing for contact shoes, spot welding of metals that have high internal resistance like stainless steel. Best known material for EDM / Spark Erosion electrodes. Used as contacts in switchgears & heavy duty circuit breakers, on-load voltage tap changers. Tungsten based heavy metal is used as tool shanks for boring bars and tools for chatter free machining, die casting tools. Tungsten based heavy metal are widely used for counter weights and counter balances, shielding components against radiation etc.    

TUNGSTEN

It is extremely hard with low ductility. It does not alloy with non-ferrous metals. It is used for cross wire welding of Copper or Brass. Ideal for welding thin Copper stock, Braided Copper wires. Better results can be obtained by electro-tin plating braided wires before welding.

MOLYBDENUM

Used for welding or brazing of Copper conductors to ferrous or non-ferrous terminals, lugs or fitting. Molybdenum can be drilled or machined unlike M100W which can be only ground, wire cut or machined by EDM.

 
Development Of Alloys For Resistance Welding Application                          Top
The constant need to keep pace with technological innovations has inspired us here at Mipalloy to produce special Copper-Alloys for solving the recurring or new problems of the engineering and electrical industries requiring:
  • Good mechanical properties associated with electrical and thermal conductivity.
  • Good mechanical properties at high operating temperatures.
  • Good impact and fatigue properties during actual working.
  • Good anti-friction properties

But this field of metallurgy is very young and fast-moving.  So to meet the requirements of special Copper-Alloys used in the field of (1) Resistance Welding (2) Components in the electrical and electronic industries - we have committed ourselves fully to the development of the following families of alloys:

  • Chromium-Copper
  • Chromium Zirconium Copper
  • Beryllium-Copper
  • Tungsten-Copper

A host of other alloys are to be developed as  the needs in the field increase.  This catalogue has been designed to give comprehensive details of the various alloys currently produced by us, and to be produced by us in the near future.  Besides catering for specialized alloys,  we shall be offering  finished  components duly heat-treated  and machined in accordance with the customer's requirements.  Right control of all manufacturing  processes ensures that the qualities desired meet the challenging requirements of the ever-changing industrial environment.
