C18200, CDA182, CA182 Chromium Copper, RWMA Class II

Description

C18200 Class II Chromium Copper is the primary copper alloy used for resistance spot and seam welding. C18200 is a high conductivity copper alloy that obtains optimum properties from both heat treatment and cold working. C18200 offers resistance to softening at elevated temperatures along with good strength and hardness. In addition to resistance welding applications C18200 is used for numerous electrical applications where resistance to deformation at high temperature is required. The RWMA designation is Class II.
