Main Articel: [[Application Properties for the Selection of Copper Alloys| Application Properties for the Selection of Copper Alloys]]

The selection of copper-based materials from the broad spectrum of available materials must be based on the requirements of the application. First an application profile should be established which can be used to define the material properties. Usually there is however no single material that can fulfill all requirements to the same degree. A compromise must be found as for example between electrical conductivity and spring properties.
