Chromium Copper is a cost effective material which
possesses greater hardness when compared to pure Copper by sacrificing conductivity slightly. It is recommended for abrasive applications
as contacts where wear resistance is required.
Beryllium
Copper is an expensive solution when Chromium Copper does not suffice. However the
electrical conductivity of Beryllium Copper must be borne in mind before designing any
contacts / terminals in the said material.
Tungsten
Copper is usually considered to be the ultimate material as far as wear resistance &
hardness is considered. Due to its high cost & low conductivity, it is used in the
form of inserts, usually Silver brazed to Chromium Copper conductors.
We
undertake the manufacture of completely machined contacts in the above materials.
Many
complicated shapes are achievable since mipalloy possesses various metal forming
facilities like closed die hot stamping, hot extrusion, cold drawing, coining, bending
& cold forming. Vacuum
Silver brazing which is latest technique in joining Tungsten Copper to
Chromium Copper is
being regularly practiced by us. Our powder metallurgy division
produces near net shape parts in Tungsten Copper.
