Copper (Commercially Pure – ASTM B152, EN 1976, UNS C11000)

Chemical Composi on (Typical)

 Copper (Cu): ≥ 99.9%

 Oxygen (O): ≤ 0.04% (in electroly c tough pitch copper, ETP)

 Silver (Ag): ≤ 0.015%

 Other impuri es (Bi, Pb, Fe, Ni, As, Sb, S): ≤ 0.05% (combined)

Special grades:

 ETP Copper (C11000): High electrical conduc vity, small oxygen content

 Oxygen-Free Copper (C10200): 99.95% Cu, no oxygen → be er duc lity, conduc vity

Mechanical Proper es

 Tensile Strength: 200 – 400 MPa (depends on temper)

 Yield Strength: 50 – 350 MPa

 Elonga on: 10 – 45%

 Hardness: 40 – 110 HB

 Fa gue Strength: ~ 90 MPa

 Modulus of Elas city (E): ~ 115–130 GPa

Physical Proper es

 Density: 8.96 g/cm³

 Mel ng Point: 1,083 °C

 Boiling Point: 2,562 °C

 Thermal Conduc vity: 390 – 400 W/m·K (excellent)

 Electrical Conduc vity: ~ 100% IACS (best among commercial metals)

 Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: 16.5 µm/m·K


Key Characteris cs

 Excellent electrical & thermal conduc vity

 High corrosion resistance in atmosphere, seawater, and chemicals

 Very duc le & malleable → easily drawn into wires, sheets, tubes

 Non-magne c, recyclable
