Stamping and Forming Technology
From ETP copper through oxygen-free copper to brass
ETP copper is the standard for electrical applications. With a conductivity of at least 100% IACS, Cu-ETP is the material of choice for busbars, contact elements, terminals and all components where maximum electrical conductivity counts.
Cu-OF contains no oxygen and is therefore especially suited to vacuum applications, high-frequency technology and environments where hydrogen embrittlement poses a risk. Its conductivity exceeds 101% IACS.
Cu-DHP is the first choice when soldering or welding is required. Thanks to phosphorus deoxidation it contains no residual oxygen and is exceptionally easy to join thermally. Typical for heat exchangers and installation technology.
Brass is a copper-zinc alloy with good machinability and an attractive golden appearance. CuZn37 offers good formability, while CuZn39Pb3 is the free-machining alloy for the highest machinability. Typical for contacts, fittings and decorative elements.
