If you are searching for copper chromium zirconium, look no further than S & D Non-Ferrous. We stock grade CW106C, a high copper alloy that contains between 0.5 – 1.2% chromium, 0.03 – 0.3% zirconium and the remainder copper.
The addition of chromium and zirconium to copper, followed by a heat treatment, retains the high conductivity values of pure copper but also significantly boosts the strength of a usually soft and ductile metal.
CW106C copper chromium zirconium has some desirable features. It has outstanding thermal and electrical conductivity, robust mechanical strength and toughness and a resistance to softening up to 525 degrees Celsius. These features make copper chromium zirconium and highly versatile metal that can be used across a wide variety of applications and industries.
We stock CW106C copper chromium zirconium in a sheet format, or as a round, hexagon or flat bar. Our team at S & D will be happy to discuss the formations of CW106C in further detail, should you need assistance.
We are dedicated to providing our customers with the highest-quality products. Therefore, we source all of our copper chromium zirconium from the best UK and European manufacturers. For additional information on any of our unmatched product range, contact us today on 0121 525 5500.
As one of the UK’s largest independent metal stockists, we guarantee fast turnaround and delivery!

Copper Chromium Zirconium is a high copper alloy in which chromium and zirconium have been later introduced. Pure copper has outstanding electrical and thermal conductivity properties, but the chromium and zirconium are added to improve a number of mechanical properties and their performance.
Copper Chromium Zirconium is significantly stronger than soft pure copper and its key characteristics frequently see the compound being used in welding equipment, rotating machinery, circuit breakers, switchgear components and electrical conductors, to name a few.
