CuAg0.1
CW013ASilver-bearing copper — Ag 0.08-0.12% addition to high-conductivity copper. Ag raises the recrystallization/softening temperature by ~100°C without reducing electrical conductivity (>100% IACS). Used for electric motor commutators, soldered heat exchangers, and any Cu application requiring soldering/brazing without softening. Also welding electrodes and lead frames.
