Tellurium Copper Rods And Plates
Tellurium copper is a copper alloy that contains a small percentage of tellurium, typically ranging from 0.4% to 0.7% by weight. This addition of tellurium to copper improves the alloy’s machinability while maintaining many of copper’s desirable properties. Tellurium copper rods and plates are solid cylindrical bars and flat plates, respectively, made from this specific alloy.

Description
- Machinability: Tellurium copper exhibits excellent machinability, making it easier to cut, drill, and shape compared to pure copper. The presence of tellurium promotes the formation of short chips during machining, reducing tool wear and improving surface finish.
- Electrical and Thermal Conductivity: Tellurium copper retains good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, similar to pure copper. It is used in applications where both electrical and thermal properties are important, such as electrical connectors, conductive springs, and heat sinks.
- Corrosion Resistance: Tellurium copper has good resistance to corrosion in various environments, including atmospheric, fresh water, and non-oxidizing acids. It is often utilized in marine applications, plumbing components, and electrical connectors exposed to moisture.
