1 Alloy Designation High Performance STOL Alloys EN DIN CEN/TS UNS Chemical Composition percentage Cu 99. % Mg % P % This alloy is in accordance with RoHS 22/96/CE for electric & electronic equipments and 22/53/CE for automotive industry. We have developed a wide range of high performance alloys with excellent properties regarding conductivity, strength, corrosion behaviour, bend ability and relaxation properties. STOL alloys are the first choice materials for high-end applications and products. Characteristics is a high Magnesium (Mg) alloyed material with excellent formability at medium strength and good conductivity. Typical applications are automotive, electrical and electronic connectors, relays, current carrying springs and junction boxes. Main Applications Automotive Switches and Relays, Contacts, Connectors, Terminals Electrical Switches and Relays, Contacts, Connectors, Terminals, Components for the electrical industry, Stamped parts, Semiconductor Components, Preferred Applications Spring Contact Switches and Relays Junction Box Current Carrying Capacity xx xx xx xx x = well suited xx = particularly well suited Physical Properties Typical values in annealed temper at 2 C Density 8.8 g/cm³ Thermal expansion coefficient C /K Specific heat capacity,32 J/(g K) Thermal conductivity 27 W/(m K) Electrical conductivity (1 MS/m = 1 m/(ω ²) 36 MS/m Electrical conductivity (IACS) 62 % Thermal coefficient of electrical resistance (.. 1 C) /K Modulus of elasticity ( 1 GPa = 1 kn/²) cold formed 13 GPa Page 1

A high level of cold deformation and small grain size decrease the electrical conductivity moderately. Minimum conductivity level can be specified. Corrosion Resistance* Resistant to: Atmospheric corrosion: formation of the a greenish protective patina due to the formation of copper basic salts (such sulphates, chlorides in marine environment, nitrates and carbonates). CuMg has a good resistance in in natural and industrial atmosphere (maritime air too). Industrial and drinking water, aqueous and alkaline solutions (not oxidizing), pure water vapour (steam), non oxidizing acids (without oxygen in solution) and salts, neutral saline solutions. Material can be heat-treated in reducing atmosphere. Practically resistant against stress corrosion cracking Not resistant to: Oxidising acids, solutions containing cyanides, aonia or halogens, hydrous aonia and halogenated gases, hydrogen sulphide, seawater. * For more details call our technical service Page 2

3 Bending Properties :.5 stress relieved rel. Bending Radius R/T bending edge transvers to rolling direction bending edge in rolling direction 9 Bending R38 R46 R52 R57 R62 Bending test according to EN ISO 7438 is done with 1 wide samples. Smaller samples in general as well as lower thickness allow a lower bending radius without cracks. If needed we supply bending optimized temper classes that far exceed standard quality. Please take care when comparing with ASTM E 29 results, there the bend definition direction is contradictory. Bending Definition Transverse = good way Parallel = bad way rel.

This method is taking short time relaxation into account. so that the values achieved are very realistic, while other test methods like tube test pretend better properties from the achieved values. Relaxation values give an indication about stress relieve of strip under tension for a certain time and temperature. As it is measured on plain strip. the behaviour of deformed parts may differ. nevertheless the ratio between the different tempers remains the same. Typical test sample thickness is.3.6. Page 4

5 Softening Resistance Vickers Hardness HV R44 at 3 C Time [s] After short time heat treatment Vickers Hardness is measured. The diagram shows typical values. Bend Fatigue (at room temperature) The fatigue strength gives an indication about the resistance to variations in applied tension. It is measured under syetrical alternating load. The maximum bending load for 1 7 load cycles without crack is measured. Dependent on the temper class it is approximately 1/3 of the tensile strength R m. Page 5
