GRCop-42 Copper Alloy Spherical Powder, CuCrNb Description
GRCop-42 Copper Alloy Spherical Powder is developed to additively manufacture parts in need of high-strength dispersion and high conductivity. GRCop-42 powder is produced using an argon and nitrogen atomization process. It retains strength at high temperatures, due to the use of chromium and niobium in the alloy. GRCop-42 also has excellent creep resistance and a low cycle fatigue life.
