Properties & Uses

  • Properties of Wrought and Cast Copper Alloys:
  • Properties of Copper
    Tables include general, atomic and crystallographic properties and features of copper.
  • Low Temperature Properties of Copper
    Tables and stress-strain curves of elastic and plastic properties of 15 alloys down to 4°K.

    A searchable database for corrosion resistance and information on coatings & finishes.
  • Fabrication Practices
    Rating how well copper alloys can by joined using different joining techniques.
  • Powder Metallurgy
    Covers production, consolidation, strengthening, copper in iron and steel P/M parts, and non-structural applications.
  • Metallurgy of Copper-Base Alloys
    How structure and properties of cast copper alloys depend on consumption and comparative data on applications and relative costs of 13 standard bearing alloys.

Useful Resources

CDA offers a wide array of useful resources for the professional users of copper. This includes Technical Specifications databases that enable you to search for alloys that match specific needs or applications, Standards databases that help you to identify the properties of specified alloys, an extensive library of technical briefs collected and made available free of charge through the Technical Reference Library database.

If you are in the market for some copper, brass, bronze, or some other alloy for a project, we offer the Suppliers databases, listing several hundred suppliers of all types of alloys, shapes, forms and quantities.

CDA also offers a large collection of printed and web Publications that are available at nominal or no cost. These include technical papers on electrical, plumbing, architectural and industrial applications, as well as more general and technical publications such as product datasheets.
