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
