| Cu(1,2,3) | Ag(4) | O | |
|
(1) This is a high conductivity copper which has, in the annealed condition a minimum conductivity of 100% IACS except for Alloy C10100 which has a minimum conductivity of 101% IACS. (2) Cu value includes Ag. (3) Cu is determined by the difference between the impurity total and 100%. (4) Ag 0.034% min is the equivelant of, Ag 10 Troy Oz min. |
