What is the Pure C10100 Copper Rod?

C10100 oxygen-free copper rods are produced from selected refined cathodes and castings by direct conversion under carefully controlled conditions to prevent contamination of the pure oxygen-free metal during processing.The method of production of C10100 copper ensures an ultra-high grade metal with a copper content of up to 99.99%. With such a low content of foreign elements, the inherent properties of elemental copper are highly exploited.

FAQ

Q1: What does "OFE" stand for?
A: OFE stands for Oxygen-Free Electronic. This designation signifies that the copper has been refined to eliminate oxygen (to less than 5 ppm), resulting in a 99.99% pure structure ideal for electronic and vacuum applications.

Q2: What is the difference between C10100 and C10200?
A: The main difference is purity. C10100 (OFE) is 99.99% pure with less than 5 ppm oxygen, while C10200 (OF) is 99.95% pure. C10100 is required for applications involving hydrogen brazing or ultra-high vacuum, whereas C10200 is used for general oxygen-free needs.

Q3: Does the rod come with a Mill Test Certificate (MTC)?
A: Yes. All our C10100 Copper Rods are shipped with traceable Mill Test Certificates certifying the chemical composition and mechanical properties as required by ASTM B187 standards.

Q4: Is C10100 suitable for CNC machining?
A: Yes, but because it is pure copper (unlike leaded coppers like C14500), it is softer and more "gummy." We recommend using sharp, polished cutting tools and proper coolant. We can supply the rod in a Half Hard temper to improve machinability for automatic lathes.

C10100 solid copper bar packaging

To ensure the material arrives in perfect condition, our C10100 Copper Rods are packaged with industrial-grade protection. Each rod is carefully bundled and secured with heavy-duty steel straps, then wrapped in multiple layers of moisture-proof kraft paper and polyethylene film to prevent oxidation and mechanical damage during transit. For export orders, we use seaworthy plywood cases or pallets, ensuring your material arrives at global destinations as pristine as it left our factory.
