Copper Tough Pitch with Ag

|Alloy Grade - STP

Material No. Unified Numbering System (UNS): C11600

Chemical Composition

Element Cu(1,2,3) Ag
Min (%) 99.90 0.08 - 0.12
  • This is a high conductivity copper which has, in the annealed condition a minimum conductivity of 100% IACS.
  • Cu value includes Ag.
  • Oxygen and trace elements may vary depending on the process.

The material has high electrical conductivity. Due to presence of silver, it is superior to ETP copper in respect of softening temp, and creep properties.

Common Fabrication Processes

  • Forging
  • Extruding
  • Drawing
  • Machining
