Copper Alloy Pressings

Copper alloy pressings are shaped components made from a mixture of copper and other metals like zinc, tin, or nickel. This process enhances properties such as strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, and electrical performance. At European Springs and Pressings, we manufacture high-quality copper alloy pressings that are precisely engineered for various applications.

Material Attributes

Our copper alloy pressings are designed to maintain their structural integrity during forming, thanks to the unique characteristics of each alloy:

  • Enhanced Strength: The addition of zinc (as in brass) or tin (as in bronze) increases the tensile strength of copper, ensuring that components can withstand heavy mechanical loads.
  • Improved Corrosion Resistance: The natural corrosion-resistant qualities of copper are amplified when alloyed with metals like zinc or tin, making these pressings ideal for use in harsh environments.
  • Optimised conductivity: Copper’s inherent ability to conduct heat and electricity is further enhanced in copper-nickel alloys, which are particularly useful in applications that require high performance.
  • Superior Ductility: The inclusion of metals such as zinc improves the ductility of copper, allowing the material to be formed into complex shapes without cracking or deforming.

Industrial Applications

Many industries use our copper alloy pressings, and each one gains from the special qualities of these alloys:

  • Defence and Aerospace: Our copper alloy pressings are used in connectors and components for missile guidance systems and satellite launch vehicles, offering high conductivity and resilience in extreme conditions.
  • Electronics and Communications: These pressings are critical for printed circuit boards and high-performance connectors in smartphones and telecommunications equipment, ensuring reliable electrical performance.
  • Marine and Offshore: With excellent corrosion resistance, our pressings are ideal for connectors and fittings in naval ships and offshore oil rigs, designed to withstand harsh marine environments.
  • HVAC and Plumbing: Their exceptional thermal conductivity and durability make these pressings suitable for heating systems like radiators and plumbing fixtures such as valves, ensuring long-term reliability.
