Chromium copper alloys represent a class of high copper alloys, typically containing chromium in the range of 0.6 to 1.2%. These alloys are highly prized for their exceptional combination of attributes, which includes high strength, impressive corrosion resistance, and excellent electrical conductivity.

What sets chromium copper alloys apart is their age hardenability. This means that their properties undergo a transformation at elevated temperatures due to the precipitation of chromium out of the solid solution.
