CU6085 C19160 Leaded Nickel Copper Wire

C19160 Leaded Nickel Copper Wire Description

C19160 Leaded Nickel Copper Wire is a high-performance copper alloy known for its excellent machinability, good thermal and electrical conductivity, and enhanced strength compared to pure copper. The nickel and phosphorus in the alloy combine to form nickel phosphate, which dissolves in the copper on heating to a suitable temperature, and can be retained by quenching. Subsequent aging will precipitate the nickel phosphate from solid solution in a highly dispersed manner thereby creating a remarkable hardening and strengthening effect with excellent stress relaxation properties. Subsequent cold working increases the strength still further.

FAQs

Q1: What is C19160 Leaded Nickel Copper Wire?

C19160 is a copper alloy wire that combines copper, nickel, and lead to provide excellent machinability, good thermal and electrical conductivity, and enhanced strength compared to pure copper.

Q2: What are the main applications of C19160 Leaded Nickel Copper Wire?

It is used in electrical components (connectors, terminals), automotive parts (bushings, bearings), and mechanical components requiring precision machining, high strength, and good conductivity.

Q3: Why is lead added to C19160 Leaded Nickel Copper Wire?

Lead improves the machinability of the alloy, making it easier to cut and shape while also reducing tool wear during machining processes.

Q4: How does C19160 compare to pure copper in terms of performance?

C19160 has better machinability, higher strength, and improved wear resistance compared to pure copper, though it retains good thermal and electrical conductivity.
