Processing and Fabrication
- Machining
C70260 can be machined using standard techniques, but it is harder than pure copper, so carbide tools are recommended.
- Forming
Can be cold-worked to achieve higher strength and hardness.
- Heat Treatment
Age-hardening can be applied to enhance mechanical properties.
- Joining
Can be soldered, brazed, or welded using appropriate techniques.
Availability
C70260 is typically available in the form of bars, rods, strips, and wires. The bars can be supplied in various diameters and lengths depending on the application requirements.
