Abstract
Schmelzmetall Hovadur CCZ is a heat-treatable, copper-chromium-zirconium alloy. In the solution heat-treated and artificially aged condition, this alloy exhibits high thermal and electrical conductivity along with high strength and a high softening temperature. Hovadur CCZ evolved from CuCr1 (CW105C), a precipitation-hardenable alloy first made in the 1930s for spot welding electrodes, for which strength and hardness at temperatures up to 500 °C (930 °F), as well as good electrical and thermal conductivity, are essential. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Cu-912. Producer or source: Schmelzmetall AG.
