Products Description
ASTM F68 C10100 pure copper is a high-purity refined copper with a copper content of ≥99.99%. It possesses excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and ductility, with an electrical conductivity reaching 101% IACS (Annealed Copper Standard), making it one of the most conductive metals in industrial applications. This material is soft and easily processed into wires, sheets, or complex components, while also exhibiting good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various environments. Furthermore, the ductility exhibited by C10100 pure copper in the annealed state can be further enhanced in hardness through cold working to meet the requirements of different working conditions.
Key Advantages
1. Electrical and Thermal Conductivity: As an ideal material for power transmission and electronic components, C10100 pure copper significantly reduces energy loss and improves equipment efficiency.
2. Processing Adaptability: Supports various processes such as stamping, stretching, and welding, suitable for manufacturing high-precision parts.
3. Environmental Friendliness and Stability: The oxygen-free nature of copper (oxygen content ≤0.0005%) avoids the risk of hydrogen embrittlement, ensuring stable performance over long-term use.
