COPPER ALLOY
DATA SHEET
C65100
Nominally composed of 98.5% copper and 1.5% silicon, Everdur C65100 is an engineering alloy at least as resistant to corrosion as copper itself, but much stronger, and with good fatigue endurance. It is an alloy noted for its brazeability, strength, corrosion resistance, and electrical properties.
Hot Working: C65100 has excellent hot workability and can be readily hot forged and pressed.
Cold Working: C65100 has excellent cold workability, maintaining excellent ductility in hard tempers. Extreme cold working such as cold heading results in a very high strength of the cold formed part. Common fabrication processes are forming and bending, heading and upsetting, roll threading and knurling, squeezing and swaging.
Joining: C65100 is one of the most weldable copper alloys. It is readily joined by all types of resistance welding. Joining by soldering or brazing is excellent. Joining by gas shielded arc welding and spot welding is also excellent, and by oxyacetylene welding, good.
Applications: C65100 finds its broadest use as rod and wire for cold headed and roll threaded bolts, wood screws and lag screws. C65100 wood screws and lag screws have unusually high strength and toughness, freedom from embrittlement, and a high degree of corrosion resistance to all types of water, saline fogs, and a wide variety of other corrosives.
C65100 hull and deck fastenings are the standard materials with yacht designers and the majority of builders of stock power boats. The alloy is also used for cable connectors, mast tangs, deck and pilot house hardware and equipment, welded fuel and water tanks for pleasure and commercial crafts. It is also one of the best copper alloys for pole line hardware.
C65100 nails are also widely used in boat construction and for nailing slate, heavy tile, and other materials where strength and corrosion resistance are essential.
Tube applications include industrial piping and rigid conduit.
Applicable Specifications: When so specified, C65100 will be manufactured to the latest revision of the following specifications: ASTM B98 for rod and shapes, B99 for wire, and B315 for tube.
Standard Forms Available: Rod, bar, wire, and tube. Cold heading wire is commonly sold in the half hard or full hard condition.
