By adding Cr, Zr, and other trace elements to the copper matrix, C18140 exhibits excellent electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties, as well as resistance to high-temperature softening and stress relaxation.
It is widely used in vehicle terminals, relay movable pieces, PV terminals, fuses, sockets, EV, HV battery terminals, circuit breakers, and electrical and electronic components that generate heat due to miniaturization.、
