CuAg0,10 (OF)

The addition of silver increases the resistance to recrystallization up to 450°C and improves creep properties up to 250 °C. The resistance to recrystallization and creep increases with increasing silver content. With a maximum impurity content of 65 ppm, CuAg OF meets the enhanced requirements for electronic applications. The quality is free of oxygen and so insensitive to hydrogen embrittlement. The quality is also free of phosphorous and so provides an excellent and reliable electrical conductivity.Increasing additions of silver give increase in creep strength and resistance to softening in elevated service temperatures Good creep resistance to 250°C (short times at 350°C) provides suitability for electrical motor parts, semi-conductor components and etching plates.

Silver is used as an alloy element to increase the resistance of the base material to the annealing, which enables greater thermal stability to be achieved of the products that make up the overhead power cable without sacrificing mechanical or electrical characteristics, and in consequence improve its durability.

For applications requiring good softening resistance during hard soldering, such as commutators, 0.06-0.08% silver is required. The 0.08-0.12% grade gives very good resistance to creep and it is therefore suitable for use in highly stressed rotor winding strips.

Oxygen-free copper grade containing silver, resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, increased resistance to softening with high conductivity.

Excellent consistency, machineability and cleanliness of our strips enable good stamping behaviors.
