GNEE provides the form
Products Description
GNEE stocks C10100 OFE copper in various shapes, such as tubes, sheets, and round bars. C101 copper is produced by melting and pouring copper in the presence of carbon or carbon-containing gases, which absorbs oxygen. This high purity and lack of deoxidizers results in an average conductivity of 101% IACS. Oxygen-Free Highly Conductive Copper Alloy (OFHC) 101 is immune to hydrogen embrittlement when heated in a reducing atmosphere. The percentage of impurities in C10100's composition can be certified, while C10200 does not require certification.
GNEE can cut material to your specifications using our bar saws, shears, precision panel saws, and water jet cutting machines. We serve a wide range of industries.
