Introduction
Copper alloys are alloys consisting of primarily copper, combined with different alloying elements, thereby producing an entirely new range of materials. Each of these materials is designed to maximize a particular characteristic such as ductility, formability, strength, electrical conductivity, or machinability.
The following datasheet discusses the chemical composition and properties of copper UNS C68100.
