Alloy 25 rods and bars from Materion provide the highest strength of any copper alloy, with electrical and thermal conductivity considerably greater than other high-strength copper alloys. This alloy features high fatigue strength and resistance to wear, corrosion, galling, and stress relaxation. Typical applications include downhole drilling flex shafts, bushings and bearings, circular and coaxial connectors, test probes, and compression contacts.
