Materion's Brush 1915® material (UNS C19150) is a leaded nickel-copper alloy that combines high strength and good machinability with superior conductivity, excellent surface finish, close diameter control and microstructural consistency. Brush 1915 was developed with a unique precipitation hardening process, which enables a number of advantages. It is also a free machining material, offering high levels of machinability without harming performance. This keeps overall costs low for volume specific processes such as cold heading or cold forming.
These property combinations and benefits make Brush 1915 alloy a good alternative for applications that may use copper-beryllium alloys.
