FeCu is an iron-copper alloy combining the structural strength of iron with copper's superior thermal and electrical conductivity. This binary system is employed in applications requiring enhanced heat dissipation, electrical performance, or wear resistance beyond what base iron can provide, particularly in electrical contacts, heat exchanger components, and wear-resistant bearings where the copper phase improves thermal transfer and reduces friction.
