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.

Chromium copper has good conductivity, thermal conductivity, high hardness, wear resistance, explosion resistance, crack resistance, high softening temperature, fast welding speed, low cost, and is suitable for use as electric spark and welding electrode. It is the preferred material to replace tungsten copper based on material cost.
