Abstract

Titanium is a cutting-edge material that boasts a low density, high specific strength, and excellent resistance to heat and corrosion. Its weight is only half that of iron, yet its mechanical properties—such as impact resistance and formability—are comparable to those of copper. Typically, as temperature decreases, the impact toughness of metals declines; however, titanium behaves quite differently: the lower the temperature, the harder it becomes, and at a certain critical temperature, it exhibits superconductivity.

Titanium is a new type of material that possesses Advantages such as low density, high specific strength, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance. Its density is only half that of iron, yet its mechanical properties—such as impact resistance and formability—are comparable to those of copper. Generally, as temperature decreases, a metal’s impact toughness diminishes; however, titanium behaves exactly the opposite: the lower the temperature, the harder it becomes, and at a certain critical temperature, it exhibits superconductivity.

No Compromise on Performance, No Burden on the Environment: Additive Manufacturing of Cu15Ni8Sn High-Elasticity Copper Alloy

High‑elasticity copper alloys are indispensable in aerospace, electronics and telecommunications, precision instrumentation, and other fields. However, in conventional high‑end copper alloy systems, certain grades contain toxic elements, posing increasingly severe environmental and occupational health and safety challenges throughout production, processing, and recycling. Consequently, usage risks, supply‑chain uncertainties, and cost pressures continue to rise.

CuCr25–50 Alloy Spherical Powder: Redefining Contact Fabrication

Copper–chromium (CuCr) contact materials exhibit excellent switching performance, superior arc‑erosion resistance, and low current‑limiting characteristics, making them widely used in vacuum circuit breakers and vacuum contactors rated at 126 kV and below. Among these properties, the uniformity of chromium distribution and the degree of grain refinement are critical determinants of the material’s core performance, directly influencing its electrical and thermal conductivity, service life, and dimensional stability. However, conventional powder metallurgy and casting processes have long been constrained by limitations in chromium particle size, resulting in coarse Cr phases, compositional segregation, and elevated oxygen and nitrogen contents. These issues significantly cap the performance ceiling of CuCr materials, posing substantial technical barriers to the production of high‑quality CuCr25–50 alloys.
