Chromium copper has begun to replace beryllium copper as a general mold material in the mold industry due to its conductive and thermal conductivity, hardness, wear resistance and explosion resistance, and superior price compared with beryllium copper mold material. For example, shoe sole molds, plumbing molds, plastic molds that generally require high smoothness, connectors, guide wires, and other products that require high strength wires.

Chromium zirconium copper has good conductivity, thermal conductivity, high hardness, wear resistance, explosion resistance, crack resistance and high softening temperature. It has less electrode loss during welding, fast welding speed and low total welding cost. It is suitable to be used as the electrode related pipe fittings of the welding machine, but it is generally used for electroplating workpieces.
