Copper Plumbing Alloys In The Scrap Stream The other place where we can anticipate a change in the nature of scrap in the U.S. is the appearance in the very near future of a substantial quantity of bismuth-modified cast red and yellow brasses in product and in prompt casting scrap. The major driver for development [...]
CuproBraze radiators were shown to be fully competitive with the brazed aluminum. These data are shown in the table below. Table 4. CuproBraze vs. Brazed Aluminum Radiator Core: Brazed Aluminum CuproBraze I* CuproBraze II* CuproBraze III* Header Width, mm 432 432 432 395 Tube Length, mm 550 550 485 505 Fin thickness, mm 0.114 0.038 [...]
Copper / Brass Automotive Radiators The recent history of the passenger car radiator is well known - the conventional wisdom is that aluminum has largely taken this market. The trend started in Western Europe, has moved forward in the United States and has more recently taken hold with Japanese automobile producers. Aluminum penetration in original [...]
Trends in U.S. Copper and Scrap and Effects of Product Shifts Copper alloy scrap provides about half of the copper consumed in the United States each year. Copper alloy cast products depend on this scrap stream for production of 100% of the ingot and other furnace charge metal. Automotive radiator and cast plumbing product scrap [...]
