Copper Alloys Ltd produces materials which are ideally-suited to a range of engineering applications.  We have the ability to fine tune the chemical composition or manufacturing process to produce specific properties in line with customer requirements.

Below are some of the most popular reasons for choosing Copper-based alloys:

Electrical conductivity

Copper Alloys Ltd can maximise the electrical conductivity of many of its alloys by carefully controlling impurity levels.

Thermal conductivity

High-copper alloys are used in engine bearings because they conduct the heat away from the engine, which is one of the reasons for engine failure in autosport.

Corrosion resistance

When copper is alloyed with Nickel and/or Aluminium, the resulting alloy (Copper-Nickel or Nickel-Aluminium-Bronze) is not only tough, but also possesses excellent corrosion properties in seawater and acidic environments.

Wear resistance

Leaded bronze is excellent for bearings where there is a possibility of lubrication failure.  Aluminium bronze can be used for slow-moving bearings and is particularly used in aerospace for its excellent abrasion resistance.
