The silver raises the softening temperature and improves creep resistance without measurably affecting electrical conductivity. This makes Copper 116 the ideal busbar material for applications operating at elevated temperatures (up to 200°C) where standard ETP copper would lose its temper and mechanical strength. ### Chemical Composition Element Min Max Copper + Silver 99.90% — Silver (Ag) 25 Troy oz/ton (0.085%) — Oxygen (O) — ~0.04% ### Alloy Designations UNS C11600 Common Name Silver Copper / STP Type Tough Pitch with Ag ### Mechanical Properties Tensile Strength (½ Hard) 42 ksi (290 MPa) Yield Strength (½ Hard) 36 ksi (248 MPa) Elongation (½ Hard) 14% Rockwell Hardness (½ Hard) 40 HRB Tensile Strength (Extra Spring) 57 ksi (393 MPa) Shear Strength 26 ksi (179 MPa) ### Physical Properties Density 8.89–8.94 g/cm³ Melting Point (Liquidus) 1,082°C (1,980°F) Electrical Conductivity 100% IACS Thermal Conductivity 391 W/m·K Coefficient of Thermal Expansion 17.0 × 10⁻⁶ /K ## Typical Applications - High-temperature busbars and conductors - Commutator segments for electric motors - Soldering iron tips - Resistance welding electrodes - Electrical equipment in high-ambient-temperature environments - Transformer windings ## Fabrication & Joining - Same workability as standard ETP copper - Excellent cold and hot forming - Higher softening temperature than C101/C110 - Soldering and brazing: Excellent - Standard welding processes apply ## Need C116 Copper Busbar?
