CuCrZr
CuCrZr (chromium zirconium copper) is a high-performance copper alloy with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and good mechanical strength. The material is widely used in industries that have strict requirements on heat resistance and electrical conductivity, such as aerospace, electronics and automobile manufacturing. It is ideally suited for use in heat exchangers, resistance welding electrodes, electrical contacts and molds, where efficient heat dissipation and durability are crucial. With its versatility and excellent performance, CuCrZr has become one of the materials of choice for general industrial and special engineering applications.

Polishing
Surface result
Smoother, glossier visible surfaces where geometry allows
Best for
Improving smoothness and gloss on CuCrZr parts used for end-use metal parts, where geometry permits.
Note
Confirm edge retention and dimensional impact on CuCrZr; fine features may soften during polishing.
Sand Blasting
Surface result
Uniform matte texture
Best for
Creating a uniform matte texture on CuCrZr parts used for end-use metal parts and display or functional prototypes.
Note
Confirm masking and feature retention on CuCrZr; abrasive blasting can change texture and soften fine details.
Laser Engraving
Marking result
Permanent text, logo, or identification marking
Best for
Adding permanent text, logos, or identification to CuCrZr parts used for end-use metal parts.
Note
Confirm contrast, marking depth, and heat sensitivity on CuCrZr before production.
Shot Peening
Surface effect
Compressive surface treatment for metal parts
Best for
Improving the surface condition of CuCrZr metal parts used for end-use metal parts and load-bearing applications.
Note
Confirm alloy response, dimensional tolerance, and surface coverage on CuCrZr; process settings affect the final surface condition.
Heat Treatment
Mechanical result
Adjusted strength, hardness, or stress-relief depending on the alloy
Best for
Adjusting the strength, hardness, or stress state of CuCrZr parts for end-use metal parts and demanding functional use.
Note
Confirm alloy-specific cycle, dimensional change, and post-treatment requirements for CuCrZr before production.
