CuAg0.1 / CW013A / C11600 Copper-Silver Hollow Conductor ASTM B441
CuAg0.1 hollow conductor (CW013A / C11600) is a high-conductivity copper-silver alloy tube widely used in electrical engineering, induction systems, transformer manufacturing, resistance welding equipment, and high-current cooling conductors.
By adding approximately 0.1% silver to copper, the alloy maintains excellent electrical conductivity while improving softening resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical strength compared with pure copper grades.
