C10100 Oxygen Free Copper Tube

With 99.99% copper content, 101 copper has higher purity than 110 copper, resulting in superior electrical conductivity. It's commonly called OFE and OFHC copper. It is commonly used for bus bars, bus conductors and other conductors, wave guides, hollow conductors, lead-in wires and anodes for vacuum tubes, vacuum seals, transistor components, glass to metal seal, coaxial cable and coaxial tubes, klystrons, micro-wave tubes, automotive rectifiers.

 

CDA/UNS

C10100 Oxygen Free High Conductivity Copper is produced by the direct conversion of selected refined cathodes and castings under carefully controlled conditions to prevent any contamination of the pure oxygen-free metal during processing. The method of producing O.F.H.C. copper insures an extra high grade of metal with a copper content of 99.99%. With such small content of extraneous elements, the inherent properties of elemental copper are brought forth to a high degree. Among such characteristics are high ductility, high electrical and thermal conductivity, high impact strength, good creep resistance, ease of weldability and low volatility under high vacuum.
