Material Notes:

CMW® 3 material is a high strength, high conductivity copper base alloy. CMW® 3 material is heat treatable. Optimum mechanical and physical properties of CMW® 3 material are developed by heat treatment or through a combination of heat treatment and cold working.CMW® 3 material is used extensively for spot welding electrodes and is well suited for custom bent designs, flash welding dies, and seam welding wheels, and provides better performance and greater savings than other copper alloys used for spot and seam welding.Property data for fully precipitation heat treated condition.Information provided by CMW Inc.
