C10100 OXYGEN-FREE (OFHC) COPPER ROUND BARS
C10100 Oxygen-Free 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 extra high grade of metal with a copper content of 99.99%. With so small a content of extraneous elements, the inherent properties of elemental copper are brought forth to a high degree. Characteristics are high ductility, high electrical and thermal conductivity, high impact strength, good creep resistance, ease of welding, and low volatility under high vacuum. C10100 Copper Conforms to ASTM B187 for round bar products. http://www.brassbilletsrods.com/copper_alloys/copper_alloys.html
