It is suitable for printing high temperature (melting point) filaments, such as ASA, ABS, etc.
This heat break is a mid-range.
It’s purpose is to transfer heat between the heatsink and the top part of the heat break better.
Stainless steel connection the lower and upper part ensures that the heat transfer between them is not that big.
Lower copper parts becomes a part of the heat block considering it will have the same temperature and it creates a bigger melt zone – filament will very probably melt inside the stainless steel tube in this lower copper part of the heat break.
This is how a cross-section of a V6 hot end with a copper heatbreak looks like (without the heatsink).
Copper – stainless steel – copper heat break is on the the most heavy ones.
As you can see in the comparison below, the weight is:
Copper heat break: 3.42 g
Titanium heat break: 1.85 g

V5/V6/Volcano/SuperVolcano heat breaks This article is a sum up about the best heat break options on the market to this date. My personal opinion: If you are OK with spending a few more buck, choose the best option on the…
This is one of the most common heat breaks used in 3D printers. Stainless steel takes care of rigidity and PTFE tube inside ensures good retraction due to it’s low friction and thermal conductivity. However maintaining this heat break is…
This is the mid-range V6 heater block. It is CNC machined from brass and suitable for higher temperatures. Standard aluminium heater block is not recommended for temperatures higher than 240°C, but this brass heater block can be used with much…
High-end V6 heater block CNC machined from a copper block, plated with nickel for a harder and more resistant surface. This is basically the best option you can get. Copper has a very high thermal conductivity so the heat from…
