Copper C10500 bar/rods are a commercially pure, oxygen-free copper renowned for its exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity. It is composed of a minimum of 99.95% copper, with trace amounts of other elements, typically less than 0.05% total. This has a very low hydrogen embrittlement and has excellent ductility and malleability due to the absence of oxygen in its composition. This grade of copper is usually used for applications requiring high conductivity. For example, electrical conductors, busbars, and components in electronic devices. Its corrosion resistance and ease of fabrication further add to its versatility.
