What is TP1/C12000 copper?
C12000 copper plate is made from a high-purity electrolytic copper, also known as ETP copper (Electrolytic Tough Pitch Copper). Its main component is copper, with a content of more than 99.9%, and it also contains small amounts of impurity elements such as oxygen, iron and sulfur.
C12000 copper plate has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity due to its high purity copper matrix. In addition, it has good processing properties and can be formed by various cold and hot working processes, such as forging, rolling, drawing and stamping. This makes C12000 copper widely used in the manufacturing of wires, cables, electronic components, automotive parts, HVAC and refrigeration equipment and other fields. In addition to its excellent physical properties, C12000 copper plate also has good corrosion resistance, especially in humid environment and soil. This allows it to maintain stable performance even in situations where prolonged exposure to harsh environments is required.

Uses And Applications of Copper |
|
|
Power Industry |
Power transmission such as line cables, transformers, switches, plug components and connectors, etc.; motor manufacturing such as stator, rotor, shaft head and hollow wire, etc.; communication cables and residential electrical lines also need to use a large number of copper wires. |
|
Electronic Industry |
Electric vacuum devices such as high-frequency and ultra-high-frequency emission tubes, catheters, magnetrons, etc., they need high-purity oxygen-free copper and dispersion-strengthened oxygen-free copper. Copper printed circuits require a large amount of copper foil and copper-based brazing material. Integrationin the circuit Copper replaces aluminum in silicon chips for interconnect lines and lead frames. |
|
Energy and Petrochemical Industry |
The main condenser tube plate and condenser tube of the energy industry thermal power plant are made of brass, bronze or cupronickel. Solar heaters are also often manufactured using copper tubing. Petrochemical industry copper and many copper alloys, used in large quantities to manufacture contact corrosion Various media containers, piping systems, filters, pumps and valves, various evaporators, heat exchangers and condensers, etc. |
|
Transportation Industry |
In the shipbuilding industry, copper alloys include aluminum bronze, manganese bronze, aluminum brass, gunmetal (tin zinc bronze), white copper and nickel copper alloy (Monel alloy), etc. are all standard materials for shipbuilding. In warships and merchant ships, copper and copper alloys are generally used as aluminum bronze propeller, Bolts, condenser tubes, rivets, copper coated paint, etc. In the automotive industry, copper and copper alloys are mainly used in radiators, brake system pipelines, hydraulic devices, gears, bearings, power distribution and power systems, brake friction plates, washers and various joints, Accessories and trims, etc. The motors, rectifiers and control, braking, electrical and signal systems on railway trains also rely on copper and copper alloys to work.

FAQ
Q: What's the difference between C11000 (ETP) and C12000 (DHP)?
A: C11000 (ETP – Electrolytic Tough Pitch) contains oxygen and may suffer from hydrogen embrittlement in reducing atmospheres. C12000 is deoxidized with phosphorus, making it suitable for brazing, welding, and high-temperature applications without embrittlement risk.
Q: Can C12000 copper be welded or brazed easily?
A: Yes, C12000 is highly weldable and brazeable due to its deoxidized nature. Autogenous welding and brazing can be performed without flux when joining copper-to-copper.
Q: What are the main applications of C12000 copper tubes?
A: It's widely used in HVAC/R (heat exchangers, condensers), plumbing, medical gas systems, industrial fluid lines, and electrical busbars.
Q: Does C12000 copper corrode in water systems?
A: It has excellent corrosion resistance in clean, non-aggressive water. However, like all copper, it can be affected by acidic water, high-velocity flow, or certain chemicals (e.g., ammonia, sulfides).
Q: Is C12000 suitable for underground water lines?
A: Yes, especially when using Type K thick-walled tubing for burial. Its corrosion resistance and strength make it a durable choice for direct burial when soil conditions are non-aggressive.
