CW116C | CuSi3Mn | C65500

Cu-Si-Mn alloys are suitable for apparatus engineering because of their good weldability and corrosion resistance. Silicon improves the mechanical properties of copper as well as the forming capacity; at 3%, the elongation at break is highest. Manganese increases the tensile strength and corrosion resistance, but lowers the conductivity. The microstructure is single-phase (α -Cu).
