Phosphorus significantly reduces the conductivity, which may go as low as 70% IACS, but also raises the softening temperature when work hardened and promotes fine grain size.Ĭ12200 has almost exactly the same mechanical properties as the high purity copper alloys such as C11000.
It is widely used as flat products and tubing, especially where it is to be welded or brazed. General Description C12200, Phosphorus deoxidised copper, has been made weldable and brazeable by deoxidising with phosphorus. Available Forms Austral Wright Metals are able to supply this alloy as sheet, strip & tube.
