GLIDCOP: Dispersion Strengthened Copper

GLIDCOP is a powder-metallurgy product consisting of high-purity copper with submicroscopic particles of insoluble aluminum oxide finely dispersed throughout the copper matrix. It is particularly suited for applications that require a combination of high strength and high conductivity. These properties are retained after exposure to and at elevated temperatures. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as creep. It also includes information on high temperature performance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Cu-270. Producer or source: Glidden-Durkee Division.
