ManganKupfer
ManganKupfer is a copper-manganese alloy, named after its two principal elements, manganese and copper. The term covers a family of alloys with varying manganese contents, designed to combine the electrical conductivity of copper with enhanced mechanical properties such as strength and wear resistance.
Typical manganese content in ManganKupfer ranges from roughly 0.5 to 5 percent by weight, with the balance
Mechanical properties depend on composition and processing but common trends include higher hardness and yield strength
Applications are primarily in electrical and mechanical components requiring a compromise between conductivity and strength, such
History and nomenclature: ManganKupfer appears in some European technical literature as a generic name for copper-manganese
