What is a C10200 copper pipe?
GNEE maintains a stock of C10200 OFHC copper in various shapes, including plates, bars, and busbars. C102 copper is produced by melting and casting copper in the presence of carbon or carbon-containing gases, allowing oxygen to be absorbed. Its high purity and absence of deoxidizers result in an average conductivity of 101% IACS. Oxygen-free high-conductivity copper (OFHC) 102 does not undergo hydrogen embrittlement when heated in a reducing atmosphere.
GNEE can cut materials to your specifications using our bar saws, shearing machines, precision panel saws, and waterjet cutters. We serve numerous industries.
