What is C15000 Material? 

C15000 is a blend of Copper (99.80% min.) and Zirconium (0.10-0.20%) that offers excellent resistance welding material with very high softening temperatures up to 450 C. (840 F.). The smallest amount of zirconium improves resistance to softening and resists deformation at high temperatures where normal copper would soften rapidly.

Copper Zirconium also referred to as C15000 is a RWMA (Resistance Welding Manufacturers Alliance under the American Welding Society) Class 1 copper alloy (it is also called Amzirc). Class 1 is defined as offering the maximum electrical and thermal conductivity.

It is an excellent electrode material that minimizes sticking when resistance spot welding galvanized or coated materials. Also good for seam welding wheels and welding fixture components. It is commonly specified for demanding electrical motor and power generation applications such as commutators, motor end rings, and rotor bars. In aerospace it is specified as a heat flux material as well as called for in military and commercial applications.

With well over four decades of experience in the industry, this is a company with a proven track record. From outstanding world-class customer service to skilled and knowledgeable as well as highly experienced employees, even the most challenging projects can be handled in a fast and efficient way.
