Cu (Copper)

Back to Gravity Die Casting

The highest possible electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity can be achieved in gravity die casting using the appropriate copper quality. The purity of the copper in combination with the manufacturing process essentially influences the conductivity values. Electric currents are thus transmitted with extremely low resistance thus, for decades the electric industry has used the good properties of the highly conductive, pure copper material CuL50, also silver-plated, in a wide spectrum of applications.
