Introduction
Copper has the ability to be formed into alloys more freely than most metals, and can be combined with a broad range of alloying elements. This metal has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity of any commercial metal. There are 400 types of copper alloys with each consisting of a variety of properties that are suitable for many applications, manufacturing processes, and environments.
The following datasheet will provide details about UNS C73500 copper alloy.
