Product catalog summary
Application and Constituents:
Heimerle + Meule's copper/silver alloys are designed for applications where pure copper does not meet the contact material requirements. The addition of silver, ranging from 0.1% to 6%, enhances strength and corrosion resistance without compromising electrical or thermal conductivity.
Properties and Benefits:
These alloys provide improved protection against short circuits and fusing, especially in contacts subjected to current overloads. Heimerle + Meule, with over 165 years of expertise in precious metals, ensures homogeneous and consistent quality through in-house manufacturing and continuous casting processes. Quality assurance is maintained through a certified quality management system.
Forms of Supply:
The alloys are available in various forms, including sheets, strips, wires, tubes, bars, and rods, with specific dimensions provided. Custom shapes and dimensions can be requested.
Physical Properties:
The document provides detailed physical properties for different copper/silver alloy compositions, including density, melting range, electrical conductivity, resistance, elastic modulus, tensile strength, and Vickers hardness. For example, CuAg 0.1 has a density of 8.9 g/cm³, a melting range of 1065 – 1080°C, and an electrical conductivity of 56 m/Ωmm².

s lloy ve a stand vat i th Inno d to wi ts! e re n ign des igh cur h Copper/silver Copper/silver alloys from Heimerle + Meule, produced by continuous casting and processed in our semi-finished products facility, meet the highest requirements that can be placed on robust contact materials. Experience and expertise in all aspects of precious metals have remained the hallmarks of Heimerle + Meule, Germany’s oldest gold and silver refinery, for over 165 years. Our copper/silver alloys can be used For contacts which are regularly subjected whenever the requirements of the contact to current overloads, these alloys offer the material can not be fulfilled by pure advantage of improved protection against short circuits and fusing. Our copper/silver alloys are manu- a continuous casting process. This guarantees a homogeneous and consistent quality. Quality assurance processes are carried In order to give greater strength and improve resistance to corrosion, pure silver is added to the copper without significantly affecting the high electrical or thermal conductivity of the copper. out in accordance with our certified For technical applications, the silver quality management system. content lies between 0.1 % and 6 %.
