The characteristics of each grade material and the fields of use
Item | Characteristic | Fields of application |
C11000 | It has good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and processing properties, and can be welded and brazing. Impurities containing reduced electrical and thermal conductivity are small, and trace amounts of oxygen have little effect on electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and processing properties, but it is easy to cause "hydrogen disease", and it is not easy to process (annealing, welding, etc.) and use in a high temperature (such as 370 °C) reducing atmosphere. | Used in electrical, thermally conductive and corrosion-resistant equipment. Such as: wires, cables, conductive screws, detonators for blasting, chemical evaporators, storage devices and various pipelines |
C10200、C10300 | It has high purity, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, no "hydrogen disease" or very little "ammonia disease" (no hydrogen embrittlement), good processing performance and welding, corrosion resistance and cold resistance | It is mainly used as electric vacuum instrumentation devices, various hardware products, lamps, pipe fittings, zippers, plaques, rivets, springs, settlement filters, etc |
C12000 | Its welding performance and cold bending performance are good, generally no "hydrogen disease" tendency, can be processed and used in a reducing atmosphere, but not suitable for processing and use in an oxidizing atmosphere. The residual phosphorus content of C12000 is less than that of C12200, so its electrical and thermal conductivity is higher than that of C12200. | It is mainly used in pipes, but can also be supplied as plates, strips or rods and wires. Used as gasoline or gas transmission pipes, drain pipes, condensation pipes, mine pipes, condensers, evaporators, heat exchangers, train car parts. |

Q1
How to care and maintain copper rods?
Answer: The care and maintenance of copper rods mainly include moisture-proof, dust-proof, anti-corrosion, etc. During use, contact with humid environments should be avoided to prevent oxidation. For exposed copper rods, you can apply anti-rust oil or spray plastic to prevent oxidation. At the same time, regularly check and maintain the usage status of the copper rods, and discover and deal with possible problems in a timely manner.
Q2
Can copper rods be welded?
Answer: Yes, copper rods can be soldered. Common welding methods include brazing, tungsten arc welding, etc. During the welding process, attention needs to be paid to selecting appropriate welding materials, controlling welding temperature and speed and other factors to ensure welding quality and strength.
Q3
What is the difference between copper rod and copper tube?
Answer: Copper rods and copper tubes differ in shape and purpose. Copper rod is a rod-shaped material mainly used to make conductive parts, mechanical parts, etc. Copper pipes, on the other hand, are tubular materials that are mainly used to make piping systems, radiators, etc. In addition, there are certain differences in manufacturing processes and performance between copper tubes and copper rods.
Q4
How are copper rods processed and cut?
Answer: Copper rods can be processed and cut by a variety of methods, such as turning, milling, sawing, etc. During the processing process, attention needs to be paid to selecting appropriate processing tools and process parameters to ensure processing accuracy and surface quality. For large copper rods, equipment such as saws or cutting machines can be used for cutting.
Q5
How to recycle and reuse copper rods?
Answer: Copper rods can save resources and reduce environmental load through recycling and reuse. Scrap copper rods can be processed through processes such as smelting and refining to remove impurities and oxides to obtain pure copper liquid, which can then be recast into new copper rods. Recycling and reusing copper rods is not only beneficial to environmental protection, but also reduces production costs.
