C10200 Oxygen Free Copper Strip (CDA 102)
C10200 copper strip is a high-purity oxygen-free copper material with a copper content of more than 99.95%, no oxygen and deoxidizer residues, and trace impurities, such as oxygen content not exceeding 0.03%, and total impurity content not exceeding 0.05%. This material has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and is widely used in the electric vacuum industry, high-power transmitting tubes, magnetrons, traveling wave tubes, vacuum capacitors, vacuum switches and other equipment for high-temperature brazing to avoid intergranular cracks and vacuum product leakage caused by the reaction of hydrogen and copper.

Size range and international standards of C10200 copper strip:


Size range

National standard (GB/T 11091-2014)


Thickness: 0.07~0.80 mm, suitable for copper strip for cables.

Width: 15~305 mm.

Other states such as soft annealing (O60), annealing to 1/8 hard (O80), etc. need to be negotiated by both parties.

Enterprise standards and customized range


The thickness can be extended to 0.1~3 mm (such as Qingdao Xinhuihui Company's products), and some suppliers even support plate thickness of 0.1~100 mm.

The width can be as low as 7 mm (such as Shanghai Jinchi Company's products) and up to 1220 mm (customized requirements).

International standards

ASTM standards


Comply with ASTM B152/B152M-2019, covering thin plates, strips, medium and thick plates and rolled bars.

The mechanical properties are similar to those of the C11000 grade, and the tensile strength range varies depending on the state (e.g. soft state ≥205 MPa, hard state ≥350 MPa).

Other international standards


DIN: The corresponding model is OF-CU (oxygen-free copper).

JIS: Such as the C1020 standard, supports customization of widths of 20 to 610 mm.

EN: For example, Cu-OF (oxygen-free copper).

Other parameter requirements


Conductivity: ≥100% IACS (such as national standards TU1, TU2), and some companies' products can reach ≥101% IACS.

Surface treatment: supports polishing, oiling, mirroring and other methods.


Main ingredients:


Copper (Cu) content: ≥99.95% (oxygen-free copper No. 2) to ≥99.97% (oxygen-free copper No. 1), total impurity content ≤0.03%-0.05%.

Oxygen (O) content: generally ≤0.003% (30 ppm), ≤0.001% (such as vacuum application scenarios).

Impurity restrictions:


Lead (Pb) ≤0.004%, iron (Fe) ≤0.004%, sulfur (S) ≤0.004%, zinc (Zn) ≤0.003%, others such as bismuth (Bi), antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), nickel (Ni), etc. are all subject to restrictions.



Mechanical properties vary significantly depending on the material state (annealed, hard, etc.):


Tensile strength:


Soft state (annealed): 215-275 MPa (≈31.8-40 ksi).


Hard state (cold worked): 261-441 MPa (≈38-64 ksi), up to 462 MPa (67 ksi).


Yield strength:


Soft state: 49-78 MPa (≈7-11 ksi).


Hard state: 290-400 MPa (≈42-58 ksi).


3. Elongation:


Soft state: 35-55% (excellent plasticity after annealing).


Hard state: 10-15% (plasticity decreases after cold working).


4. Hardness:


Brinell hardness (HB): 35-45 HB in soft state, 85-95 HB in hard state.

Rockwell hardness: HRB 40 (soft), HRB 57-100 (hard).

Other properties:

Production process and product advantages of C10200 copper strip:


1. Production process

Continuous casting and rolling method

The continuous casting and rolling process is used to produce long copper strips with a thickness range of 0.2-1.2 mm. The process includes copper ingot casting, semi-finished product rolling, annealing treatment and strip packaging to ensure stable material performance.


Combination of cold and hot processing

Supports cold processing (such as stamping, drawing) and hot processing (temperature 750-875℃). The oxygen content does not affect the weldability and processing performance, and is suitable for the forming of complex shapes.


Annealing treatment

The annealing temperature range is 375-650℃, and the hardness of the material can be adjusted (such as M state HBS35-45, Y state HBS85-95) to meet different application requirements.


Precision striping and surface treatment

Provide customized striping (width 7-1000 mm) and surface treatment (polishing, brushing, mirror, etc.), adapted to high-precision requirements such as electronic components.


2. Product Advantages

High Purity and Conductivity

Copper purity ≥ 99.95%, oxygen content ≤ 0.03%, conductivity up to 391W/(m·℃), significantly reducing resistance, suitable for high-power electrical equipment (such as transformers, cables).


No hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion resistance

The oxygen-free property avoids the risk of hydrogen embrittlement, the oxide layer has strong adhesion, is resistant to atmospheric and seawater corrosion, and extends service life.


Excellent processing performance

Excellent ductility (elongation after annealing is about 50%), can be processed into foil (0.01mm), strip, plate and other forms, and supports complex processes such as stamping and forging.


High temperature stability

Melting point 1083℃, high thermal conductivity, suitable for high-temperature brazing (such as vacuum devices), avoiding leakage problems caused by intergranular cracks.


Wide application areas

Covering electrical (transformer windings, connectors), electronics (lead frames, springs), automobiles (radiators, bearings), ships and other scenarios, adapting to high precision and high reliability requirements.
