Technical Notes
Oxygen Content Impact:
- Enhances recrystallization and grain refinement
- Provides balanced strength-ductility relationship
- Slightly reduces conductivity vs. oxygen-free copper
- Risk of hydrogen embrittlement in reducing atmospheres
Temperature Limitations:
- Softening begins around 200°C
- Creep considerations above 150°C for long-term loading
- Recrystallization temperature: 200-300°C depending on cold work
Design Considerations:
- Coefficient of thermal expansion must be considered in multi-material assemblies
- Galvanic compatibility with other metals in wet environments
- Joint design critical for high-current applications
