Copper Database

Comparison of worldwide standards, materials and designations

The Copper Key Database is an innovative online tool initiated by Kupferverband e.V. and technically modernized in close collaboration with Matplus®. The database is based on the extensive material information from Kupferverband and represents a valuable resource for engineers and materials scientists. It enables easy and comprehensive comparison of national and international standards (e.g. ASTM, DIN, EN, BS), supplemented by well-founded data from material specifications as well as designations of copper alloys.
