Copper

C145 tellurium copper is engineered for improved machinability over pure copper, providing excellent electrical and thermal conductivity with better chip breaking and surface finish. It is well suited for high-volume electrical connectors, contacts, and terminals where precision and conductivity are both critical. Davenport screw machines run C145 at high throughput, and the Hybrid’s CNC controls allow Gates Albert to integrate complex turning and cross-working features while tightly controlling size and surface finish on critical contact surfaces.

C182 chromium copper combines high conductivity with strength and wear resistance at elevated temperatures, making it a common choice for resistance welding components and high-load electrical hardware. Its greater strength and work hardening behavior can challenge traditional turning equipment at high production rates. The Davenport Hybrid’s enhanced rigidity, bearing-supported spindles, and precision coolant management provide a stable platform to machine C182 efficiently, enabling Gates Albert to deliver long-life, high-precision copper alloy components

C110 copper (Electrolytic Tough Pitch) is a high-purity copper alloy offering outstanding electrical and thermal conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, and reliable formability — ideal for connectors, terminals, and other current-carrying components. Gates Albert’s high-volume Davenport precision-turning capabilities make machining C110 especially cost-effective, combining multi-spindle productivity with tight tolerances and consistent surface finishes on complex copper parts.
