ARCAP AP1
Cu64Ni25Zn11
ARCAP AP1 is a copper-nickel-zinc strip alloy designed and produced by Lebronze alloys. It serves makers of watch microcomponents, connectors and instrument shielding who deep draw, crimp or stamp small parts that must stay non-magnetic.

Why this grade
Lead-free alloy that stays strictly non-magnetic.
Suited to cold forming, deep drawing, crimping and stamping.
Needs no coating, which saves steps in downstream production.
Can be brazed, soldered, seam-resistance welded or TIG welded.

GradeChemistryYield strengthChoose it when
ARCAP AP1You are hereCuNiZn530 MPaChoose it when your part is formed from annealed strip and does not call for a UNS grade. ARCAP AP1C covers UNS C79360 and harder tempers, ARCAP AP1D covers parts machined from rod.
ARCAP AP1CCuNiZn750 MPaChoose it when the drawing calls for UNS C79360, when you need hard or stress-relieved tempers, or when one grade must come as rod, strip and wire. ARCAP AP1D is the choice for heavily machined rod parts.
ARCAP AP1DCuNiZn550 MPaChoose it when the part is machined from rod and machinability comes first. For parts formed from strip, ARCAP AP1 and ARCAP AP1C are the family's forming grades.
