Many applications demands Copper to have higher mechanical properties and to be capable of use at elevated operating temperatures while still retaining the good conductivity for which it is selected in the first place.

The high-copper alloy family includes Beryllium Coppers, 2% Beryllium Copper, Chromium Coppers, Zirconium Copper , Chromium Zirconium Copper and Nickel Silicon Chromium Copper.
