Product Overview
Chromium Copper C18200 threaded rods are high-conductivity copper alloy fasteners manufactured from UNS C18200 bar stock, conforming to ASTM B166 and RWMA Class 2 standards. This alloy contains approximately 0.6-1.2% chromium, which is precipitation-hardened to deliver a unique combination of high electrical and thermal conductivity with superior mechanical strength and wear resistance.
Chromium Copper C18200 threaded rods are widely specified for resistance welding electrodes, electrical connectors, and high-temperature bolted assemblies where both conductivity and strength are critical. Their excellent resistance to softening at elevated temperatures makes them ideal for demanding industrial and electrical applications.
