Glidcop information

Glidcop is a family of copper-based metal matrix composite (MMC) alloys mixed primarily with small amounts of aluminum oxide ceramic particles. It is a trademark of North American Höganäs. The name is sometimes written GlidCop^[1] or GLIDCOP.^[2]

The aluminum oxide particles block dislocation creep, which retards recrystallization and prevents grain growth; thus preserving the metal's strength at high temperatures. They also protect the metal against radiation damage.^[3] On the other hand, they exclude the possibly of heat treatment or hot working of the worked parts.^[2]
