Description

Alloy 3C offers excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, good strength & galling resistance, and accurate replication of component detail. Alloy 3C offers nearly 3 times the conductivity of the high strength alloys, twice the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys, and ten times that of steel.

This material data has been provided by Materion Brush GmbH.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
