Copper and its alloys' characteristics detailed

'Copper and Copper Alloys - Compositions, Applications and Properties' has been revised and updated to reflect progress in standards development since the 1998 version.
Copper Development Association publication 'Copper and Copper Alloys - Compositions, Applications and Properties' has been revised and updated to reflect progress in standards development since the 1998 version. The 2005 edition presents summarised information on EN standards and material designations for copper and copper alloys giving nearest old BS equivalents. For each material designation, typical compositions and ranges of properties are given along with a note on characteristics and uses.

The range of alloys covered is, of necessity, larger than the now obsolete BS system in order to incorporate, as far as possible, all unique, pan-European, industrial preferences.

This publication is an essential reference guide for designers and specifiers but for full details, the relevant standards, obtainable from BSI, should be consulted.

To order your copy of Publication 120 (GBP 10) or for information on technical, supplier and specification enquiries on copper and copper alloys, please contact the Copper Development Association, UK.
