Copper/Silver Alloy Rod (Cu70/Ag30)

Copper/Silver Alloy Rod (Cu70/Ag30) from Goodfellow represents an excellent addition to their range of rod products. This alloy combines the high thermal and electrical conductivity of copper with the increased hardness and antimicrobial properties of silver. With a tensile strength exceeding 200 MPa and electrical conductivity over 50% IACS, it is well-suited for use in electrical contacts and lead wires. The rod form also lends itself to machining into small precision parts like bushings and bearings, where its antiseptic silver content helps reduce bacterial growth and corrosion.
