INTRODUCTION

Production process and product advantages of C10200 copper wire:


1. Production process

The production process of C10200 copper wire mainly includes the following steps:


Smelting: Melt pure copper (purity ≥ 99.9%) at high temperature, and strictly control the oxygen content (≤ 0.001%) to reduce the risk of hydrogen embrittlement.

Casting: Use continuous casting, sand casting and other methods to form ingots or castings to ensure material uniformity.

Heat treatment: Adjust the organizational properties through annealing (temperature 375-650℃) to improve ductility and conductivity.

Processing and forming: The ingot is processed into wire through cold/hot processing (such as drawing and rolling), supporting the production of ultra-fine copper wire as thin as 0.01mm. Oxidation pollution should be avoided during processing to maintain high purity.

2. Product advantages

High conductivity and thermal conductivity


The conductivity reaches 100% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard), and the thermal conductivity is excellent, which is suitable for high-power current transmission and high-precision electrical components.

Low oxygen content (≤0.001%) reduces the risk of hydrogen embrittlement and ensures long-term stability.

Excellent processing performance


Excellent plasticity, supports cold/hot forming, forging, stamping and other processes, can be made into ultra-fine wires (0.01mm), special-shaped wires and complex parts.

Excellent welding performance, suitable for TIG welding, MIG welding and other methods, high joint strength and good air tightness.

Corrosion resistance and anti-magnetism


Strong corrosion resistance to atmosphere, water and various media, surface oxide film (patina) provides additional protection.

Anti-magnetic properties are suitable for precision instruments (such as compasses, magnetrons).

Wide range of applications


Electrical and electronic: wires, cables, brushes, connectors, semiconductor parts, etc.

High-end manufacturing: new energy vehicle connectors, microwave tubes, vacuum coating equipment, waveguide components, etc.

Industrial fields: heat exchangers, seawater pipeline systems, oil and gas equipment.

Standardization and reliability


Complies with international standards such as ASTM B187/B187M, EN 13602, etc. to ensure material consistency and traceability.

Provide customized services (such as tin plating, nickel plating surface treatment) to meet diverse needs.
