GLIDCOP® is the registered trade name
for copper that is dispersion-strengthened
with ultra-fine particles of aluminium oxide. This results in a unique combination of high strength and high conductivity unmatched
by other copper alloy systems. GLIDCOP®
is also unique in that the aluminium oxide particles are thermally stable.
They remain effective in strengthening the copper matrix, resisting grain coarsening
and recrystallization even after very long exposures to high temperature. GLIDCOP® grades with different oxide contents are available to serve a broad range of strength and conductivity requirements based on the needs of an application.
