A database for designers specifying copper alloys for demanding applications has been introduced by the Copper Development Association. The Copper Alloys Knowledge Base, which is free to use, is a joint project from the European Copper Institute and AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow.

The database provides designers with detailed information on 27 copper-based conductivity materials, with datasheets for each, references for known properties and an advanced properties search function.

The database will be especially useful for designers considering copper alloys for demanding applications that require any combination of miniaturisation, conductivity, low losses, strength, flexibility, operation in high temperatures and protection against corrosion.

The web site also offers an extensive overview of copper, including its atomic structure, the physical properties and thermodynamics of copper alloys, strengthening mechanisms for metallic materials, characteristics of copper alloys used for electrical purposes, the impact of alloying additions on selected properties of copper alloys, and their susceptibility to processing.
