What Are Typical Applications for Copper Die Casting?
Functional Overview of Copper Die Cast Components
Copper die casting is widely used across industries that require parts with high strength, superior corrosion resistance, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, and long service life. Neway offers a full range of copper die casting services to meet the performance demands of various industrial, marine, and consumer applications.
Key Application Categories
1. Electrical and Electronics Components
Copper alloys—particularly C18200 and Brass 360—have high conductivity and low electrical resistance, making them ideal for:
Switch terminals and connectors
Circuit breakers and relays
Busbars and electrical housings
Heat sinks and grounding brackets
2. Plumbing and Fluid Handling
Copper’s antimicrobial properties and corrosion resistance make it perfect for water system components. C83600 Leaded Red Brass and Brass 380 are commonly used in:
Valve bodies and fittings
Water meter housings
Pump casings and impellers
Faucets and backflow preventers
3. Marine and Saltwater Applications
Marine-grade copper alloys like Brass 464 and C95400 Aluminum Bronze offer superior resistance to saltwater corrosion. Applications include:
Propeller hubs
Shaft sleeves and thrust washers
Seawater pump housings
Dock and hull hardware
4. Automotive and Transportation
Copper die casting supports parts that demand durability, conductivity, and thermal management. Components include:
Terminal blocks
Sensor housings
Thermal exchangers
Brake system fittings
5. Industrial Machinery and Equipment
High-strength copper alloys like C87300 High Strength Silicon Bronze are used in:
Bearing retainers
Gear blanks
Industrial connectors
Heavy-duty couplings and lugs
