Pushing the Boundaries of Advanced Alloys
Pushing the Boundaries of Advanced Alloys
We specialize in developing and engineering high-performance materials tailored to the most demanding applications. Our expertise in metals and machining ensure that our components meet and exceed industry standards for strength, durability, and precision.
Material Concepts Tailored to Functional Requirements
The WECOBA alloy portfolio is structured into two clearly defined material classes, each developed to address specific functional priorities in demanding industrial applications. This classification allows precise material selection based on the dominant operating conditions, whether the focus is on thermal and electrical performance or on mechanical durability and environmental resistance.
WECOBA
Letter Grades
Optimized for Thermal and Electrical Performance.
WECOBA alloys designated by a letter are primarily developed for applications where thermal and electrical conductivity are the dominant performance requirements. These materials are used wherever efficient current transfer, controlled heat dissipation, and stable electrical contact are essential.
Typical applications include:
Resistance welding electrodes
Electrical contact components
Thermally loaded interfaces
Casting and cooling elements
High-current conductive parts
In these applications, WECOBA letter grades provide a carefully balanced combination of conductivity and mechanical stability. While maintaining excellent thermal and electrical properties, the alloys are designed to offer improved resistance to softening, deformation, and surface degradation under continuous thermal cycling.
This makes WECOBA letter grades particularly suitable for processes involving high current densities, short cycle times, and repeated heating and cooling, where consistent performance over time is critical.
WECOBA
Number Grades
Engineered for Wear Resistance, Corrosion Protection and Structural Stability
WECOBA alloys designated by a number are developed for applications where mechanical durability and resistance to harsh environments are the primary concerns. These materials are selected for components exposed to friction, abrasion, high contact pressures, corrosive media, or long-term mechanical loading.
Typical applications include:
Wear and sliding components
Bearings, bushings, and guiding elements
Machined machine parts
Components exposed to corrosive atmospheres
Structural parts with high service-life requirements
WECOBA number grades focus on enhanced resistance to wear, corrosion, and mechanical fatigue. Their alloy composition and microstructure are designed to deliver stable performance under load, minimizing dimensional changes and surface damage over extended operating periods.
These materials are especially well suited for applications where maintenance access is limited and where predictable, long-term reliability is essential for cost-efficient operation.

High Conductivity Copper Alloys
Low-alloyed copper materials are engineered to combine the excellent electrical and thermal conductivity of copper with improved mechanical strength, resistance to softening, and enhanced structural stability.

Compared to pure copper, these alloys offer better performance under mechanical and thermal load while maintaining high functional conductivity, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Key Features:
• High electrical and thermal conductivity
Improved hardness and mechanical strength compared to pure copper
Increased resistance to softening at elevated temperatures
Good wear resistance under moderate mechanical load
