C18150 20μm-63μm

C18150 is a copper-chromium-zirconium alloy known for its excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to deformation at high temperatures. In additive manufacturing, this material is often used in applications where heat dissipation is critical, such as in the production of heat sinks, cooling components for electronics, and molds. C18150 is an excellent material choice across multiple industries, including space, automotive, electronics, and aerospace.

The 20-63 µm particle size suggests good spreadability for recoating systems with recoat speeds up to 240 mm/s. Other tailored particle size distributions are available upon request.
