Useful Resources
CDA offers a wide array of useful resources for the professional users of copper. This includes technical specification 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 publications that are available at nominal cost. These include technical papers on electrical, plumbing, architectural and industrial applications, as well as more general and technical publications such as product datasheets.
