UNS C70600 is composed primarily of copper (99.3% minimum) with alloying elements including nickel (4-4.5%), silver (0.15-0.45%), zinc (0.15-0.45%), tin (0-1%), phosphorus (maximum 0.05%) and lead (maximum 0.2%). This combination of metals makes it a powerful alloy with excellent wear resistance and high strength at elevated temperatures.The chemical properties of this alloy are excellent; it is resistant to atmospheric corrosion and seawater corrosion due to its low carbon content, which inhibits pitting corrosion when exposed to high chloride concentrations such as salt water spray or sea fog. Additionally, it has good formability due to its low carbon content, allowing easy bending or forming without cracking or splitting during the process.
UNS C70600 is an all-in-one material with many uses in the industrial and commercial sectors. It boasts excellent thermal and electrical conductivity properties, making it ideal for wiring and circuitry applications and high-temperature insulation. When exposed to corrosion and oxidization, Copper C706 remains relatively stable under harsh conditions making it a prime choice for underground piping systems. Furthermore, its malleability allows for endless customizations in many of these projects, allowing for a perfect fit in any environment. Its superior strength even withstands extreme pressure, meaning it can easily be used for hydraulic components too. With so many intriguing capabilities, Copper C706 is the optimum choice of material when seeking efficiency in engineering works.Copper C706 exhibits superior thermal stability with a melting point between 1025°C – 1035°C depending on the alloying elements present in the material's composition; due to this feature, the material can be used for applications requiring continuous exposure up to 1000°C without suffering from any significant loss in mechanical properties over time.Copper C706 can be hardened by solution annealing followed by aging precipitation hardening treatments; however, due to the low carbon content within the material's composition, quenching treatments are not recommended because they could cause a brittle fracture in specific components that have been previously formed using cold working processing methods.
