Q1: What is the composition of C11000, C12200, and C10500 copper grades?
A1:
C11000 (Electrolytic Tough Pitch Copper): Composed of 99.9% copper with minimal oxygen content, offering excellent electrical conductivity.
C12200 (Phosphorus Deoxidized Copper): Contains 99.9% copper, with phosphorus added to reduce oxygen content, providing high resistance to corrosion and better weldability.
C10500 (Oxygen-Free Copper): Made of 99.95% pure copper with a very low oxygen content, ideal for high-conductivity applications like electronics and vacuum systems.
Q2: What are the typical applications for C11000, C12200, and C10500 copper grades?
A2:
C11000: Commonly used in electrical conductors, power cables, bus bars, and electrical contacts.
C12200: Used in plumbing systems, heat exchangers, and marine applications due to its superior corrosion resistance.
C10500: Primarily used in high-performance applications like vacuum technology, high-frequency components, and electronics due to its high conductivity.
Q3: Are C11000, C12200, and C10500 copper plates/sheets/coil easy to fabricate?
A3: Yes, these copper grades are highly malleable and ductile, making them easy to cut, bend, and shape. They can be processed into various forms such as sheets, plates, coils, and more, using standard machining methods.
Q4: What are the mechanical properties of C11000, C12200, and C10500 copper plates?
A4:
C11000: Good mechanical properties with moderate strength and excellent ductility.
C12200: Slightly stronger than C11000, with excellent toughness and weldability.
C10500: Offers very high tensile strength and good hardness, along with excellent electrical conductivity.
Q5: Can these copper sheets/plates be customized in terms of size and thickness?
A5: Yes, C11000, C12200, and C10500 copper sheets and plates can be customized in thickness, width, and length according to customer requirements, including surface finish options like polished or brushed.
