CMW® 353 Copper Alloy

CMW® 353 material is an economical high strength, high conductivity copper base alloy. It is a heat treatable copper base alloy and its excellent properties are obtained largely through heat treatment. Its properties combine high hardness, strength and wear resistance with relatively high electrical and thermal conductivity.CMW® 353 is superior in its combination of hardness and conductivity to such non-ferrous alloys as Yellow Brass, Gear Bronze, Manganese Bronze and Aluminum Bronze. Any current or heat conducting members in electrical or other machinery will, therefore, be improved when made of CMW® 353 material. High hardness, combined with the toughness which characterizes CMW® 353 material, gives it excellent wear resistance and makes it useful for flash welding dies, back up bars, bushings and current carrying bearings in combination with CMW®3 shafts.Information provided by CMW Inc.
