FAQ
Q: What is the equivalent grade in the Chinese GB standard?
A: According to GB/T 5231-2012, the most equivalent grades are TU0 or TU1, which are also high-purity oxygen-free coppers.
Q: How is the machinability and formability of C10100?
A: It has excellent cold and hot workability and high ductility, making it suitable for rolling, drawing, and forging. However, its high ductility can lead to gummy chips during machining.
Q: Can C10100 be welded?
A: Yes, it has excellent weldability. Processes like electron beam welding and gas-shielded arc welding are commonly used.
Q: What is the thermal conductivity of C10100?
A: Its thermal conductivity is also excellent and directly correlates with its high electrical conductivity, nearing the theoretical maximum for copper.
Q: What are the mechanical properties of C10100?
A: In the annealed state, it has relatively low tensile and yield strength but very high elongation. Its strength can be increased by cold working, but this reduces ductility and conductivity slightly.
