Electrolytic Tough Pitch Copper

|Alloy Grade - ETP-Cu

Material No. Unified Numbering System (UNS): C11000

Chemical Composition

Element Cu(1,2) Oxygen
Min (%) 99.90 Min. 0.04 Max.
  • Cu value includes Ag.

Cu-ETP has a very high electrical and thermal conductivity. It has excellent forming properties. Due to its oxygen content soldering and welding properties are limited.

Common Fabrication Processes

  • Forging
  • Extruding
  • Drawing
  • Ring Rolling
  • Bending
  • Machining
