This is a simple guideline for selecting copper powder
products based on the application.
Bearings - CU165 and CU151 are recommended for blending
with tin for the production of bronze self-lubricating bearings.
More Details
Structural Parts -CU165, CU151, and CU301 are
admixed with iron powder (2-10%)to improve strength and mechanical properties.
These powders are also used to produce bronze and other alloy structural
components.
Friction Components - CU151 is used for aircraft and other
braking systems. It is also used for automotive and industrial ''friction''
components and applications.
Carbon Brushes - CU41 is engineered for carbon brush
tamping applications.
Abrasive Wheels - CU165, CU151, and CU301 are used
as a matrix-bonding material for diamond and other abrasive wheels and cutting
tools.
Chemical Formulations - CU165, CU151,
and CU301 are widely used as catalysts in chemical formulations and for
the production of copper compounds.
Thick/Thin Films - CU7005F is used for conductive coatings
and conductive inks.
