NIKON SLM MATERIALS

Explore copper alloys designed for high-performance applications requiring excellent mechanical and conductive properties. CuNi2SiCr is a thermally hardenable copper alloy with enhanced stiffness, even at elevated temperatures, while retaining key properties like electrical and thermal conductivity. It’s ideal for toolmaking, conductive contacts, and valves. CuCr1Zr offers a superb balance of high electrical conductivity (up to 92% IACS after heat treatment) and mechanical strength, thanks to its low alloying elements. This alloy is perfect for demanding applications, such as rocket engines, where both high strength and conductivity are critical.

Description

CuCr1Zr is Nikon SLM Solutions’ copper alloy with the lowest concentration of alloying elements and, therefore, brings an excellent balance of mechanical and conductive properties. With up to 92 % IACS after heat-treatment, CuCr1Zr still features very high electrical conductivities at up to 300 MPa ultimate tensile strength. Chromium and zirconium help to maintain both high strength and hardness at elevated temperatures – ideal for rocket engines.

Material characteristics

  • Highest electrical conductivity for SLM® copper alloys
  • High temperature stability for strength and hardness
  • Improved strength compared to pure copper

Application Examples
  • Aeronautics
  • Space
  • Electrical engineering
