Tellurium Copper Sheet

Tellurium copper also referred to as alloy 145 alloy c15400 145 half hard tellurium and tecu is a copper based alloy that contains varying amounts of tellurium and phosphorus.

Tellurium copper sheet.

Also called tellurium copper 145 copper contains tellurium which makes it more machinable than all other copper while maintaining good corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity. The copper telluride precipitations become finely dispersed throughout the matrix and assist in chip breakage into short pieces thus enabling a much higher machining speed than with pure copper. Considered the best machining of the high copper alloys this copper tellurium alloy acquires strength from alloying tellurium. It s often used for transformer and circuit breaker terminals welding torch tips and fasteners.

C109 cw118c is a free machining tellurium containing alloy that retains the high conductivity values associated with pure copper. Copper 145 tellurium has a machinability rating scale of 85 compared to pure copper of 20 thus ensuring longer tool life. Tellurium tellurium compounds as te 0 1 mg m 3 0 1 mg m 3. Certificates with a traceable lot number are available for these products.

As with all metals when reducing the amount of copper conductivity dramatically decreases yet strength increases. Ensure adequate ventilation to maintain exposures below occupational limits. Whenever possible the use of local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls is the preferred method of controlling exposure to airborne dust and fume to meet established occupational exposure limits.
