The general thickness range is 1.0-100mm (such as plates for mechanical parts), and specific applications may involve more detailed ranges, such as 1.3mm, 1.6mm, 1.8mm, 3.2mm, etc. for engraving plates.
The thickness of environmentally friendly soft copper plates can reach 1.0-1.6mm (in line with EU standards). Width and length can be customized

Production process and product advantages of C23000 copper plate/copper strip:
1. Production process
Smelting process
Use submerged flow transfer technology to eliminate traditional flow troughs, reduce metal liquid cooling and smoke emissions, and improve energy efficiency. At the same time, apply micro rare earth element smelting technology to improve material properties and increase yield rate.
Casting technology
Horizontal continuous casting or vertical continuous casting technology: increase the yield rate by 5% and reduce casting defects.
Submerged nitrogen protection horizontal continuous casting: reduce oxidation, improve material uniformity, and is suitable for high-precision copper strip production.
Rolling process
Hot rolling: adopt large ingot rolling and thickness closed-loop control technology to increase coil weight and increase rolling speed, reducing unit energy consumption.
Cold rolling: Combine AGC closed-loop thickness control with roller technology to improve dimensional accuracy; continuous extrusion cold rolling process has the advantages of energy saving and high material utilization, and is suitable for medium and thick plate production.
Annealing and surface treatment
Use high hydrogen atmosphere expansion annealing or low temperature and low tension continuous annealing technology to optimize the mechanical properties of materials and reduce energy consumption.
Surface passivation process and acid purification technology: improve corrosion resistance and surface finish.
Finishing process
Includes stretching and straightening, degreasing and passivation, mechanized packaging and other links to ensure the flatness and quality stability of the finished product.
2. Product advantages
Excellent mechanical properties
Tensile strength ≥315MPa, elongation ≥25% (δ10) or ≥30% (δ5), with high strength and good plasticity, can withstand hot and cold pressure processing.
Through component uniformity control (Cu 84-86%, Zn margin) and residual stress optimization, reduce the tendency of stress corrosion cracking.
Processing and use performance
Easy to weld, forge and tin, suitable for complex molding needs.
Excellent electrical/thermal conductivity, resistant to atmospheric and fresh water corrosion, suitable for environments such as condensers and radiators.
High precision and consistency
Strict tolerance control and high-end surface finish meet the stringent requirements of ultra-thin and high-conductivity materials in automotive electronics, 5G communications and other fields.
Environmental protection and energy-saving characteristics
Green processes (such as online degreasing and low-temperature annealing) are adopted, and smoke emissions are much lower than traditional methods, which is in line with the trend of circular economy.
The yield rate is increased by 10%, and the energy consumption per unit product is significantly reduced.
