As a leading Custom C19160 Copper Alloy Manufacturer, Kepai New Material recognizes C19160 as the pinnacle of nickel-silicon precipitation-strengthened alloys. This specific grade is engineered for applications demanding a paradoxical combination: extreme tensile strength and high electrical conductivity.
Unlike standard copper, C19160 utilizes a precise addition of Nickel and Silicon to form Ni2Si precipitates during heat treatment. These microscopic structures provide an internal framework that blocks dislocation movement, resulting in superior hardness while maintaining conductivity levels often exceeding 50% IACS.

Leading the next generation of metallurgical innovation.
Our R&D focuses on refining the Cu-Ni-Si-P-Cr phase diagram. By controlling quench rates and aging temperatures within ±2°C, we achieve a more uniform distribution of Ni2Si precipitates, boosting yield strength without compromising ductility.
In response to global RoHS and REACH standards, Kepai is pioneering C19160 variants that utilize alternative alloying elements to maintain a 70%+ machinability rating without the use of lead, ensuring environmental compliance for the EU and US markets.
Integrating machine learning sensors into our cold-drawing and extrusion lines allows for real-time monitoring of grain structure and surface integrity, reducing material waste and ensuring 100% batch consistency for aerospace clients.
Bridging global technology with regional industrial needs.
In the APAC region, C19160 is becoming the standard for high-speed EV charging pins. Its resistance to softening at elevated temperatures ensures long-term reliability in high-cycle connector environments.
For high-frequency signal connectors, the material's excellent thermal dissipation prevents signal attenuation in dense urban 5G base stations across North America and Europe.
With its non-magnetic properties and biocompatibility potential, our C19160 alloy is utilized in MRI components and high-precision surgical instruments where strength and hygiene are paramount.
The addition of Chromium (Cr) in our C19160 formulation enhances corrosion resistance in saline environments, making it a preferred choice for underwater sensor housings and offshore renewable energy connectors.
Sichuan Kepai New Materials Co., Ltd. leverages China’s unparalleled supply chain ecosystem to provide Custom C19160 Copper Alloy at scales and speeds impossible elsewhere.
