GLIDCOP® exhibits extraordinary resistance to recrystallization and thermal softening. Other unique characteristics of GLIDCOP® are:

•            High electrical and thermal conductivities
•            High tensile and yield strengths at room temperature
•            High strength at elevated temperature
•            High stress rupture strength at elevated temperature
•            Anti-stick characteristics when resistance-welding coated steels
•            Resistance to property degradation that can be caused by
             exposure to radiation. 

GLIDCOP® is a non-heat treatable alloy system.

GLIDCOP® is comprised of a pure copper matrix with an extremely fine dispersion of AL₂O₃. Most filler metals that are normally used for brazing plain copper can be used for brazing GLIDCOP®.
