What Are Copper Commercial Grade Round Bars?

Copper Commercial Grade Round Bars are solid cylindrical rods made from high-purity commercially pure copper (C11000 / ETP Copper). These bars combine excellent conductivity, corrosion resistance, and machinability, making them highly versatile in industrial, electrical, and mechanical applications.

Key features of copper commercial grade round bars:

  • Outstanding electrical conductivity (≥ 97% IACS)
  • Excellent thermal conductivity for heat transfer applications
  • High corrosion resistance in water and atmospheric environments
  • Superior ductility for forming, bending, and machining
  • Can be easily welded, brazed, or soldered
  • Non-magnetic and non-sparking for safety-critical applications

These properties make copper round bars suitable for electrical bus bars, mechanical components, plumbing, heat exchangers, and precision engineering.


Key Features of Copper Commercial Grade Round Bars

  • Excellent Electrical Conductivity: Ideal for electrical and power transmission
  • Superior Thermal Conductivity: Used in heat exchangers, cooling systems, and industrial applications
  • Corrosion Resistant: Stable in water, air, and many industrial chemicals
  • Ductile and Formable: Can be rolled, drawn, or machined into complex shapes
  • Non-Magnetic and Non-Sparking: Safe for critical mechanical and electrical environments
  • Durable and Long-Lasting: High service life for industrial and electrical applications

These features make commercial copper round bars essential for electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering applications.


Chemical Composition of Copper Commercial Grade Round Bars

Copper commercial grade bars typically conform to C11000 / ETP (Electrolytic Tough Pitch) copper with the following composition:

Element Composition (%)
Copper (Cu) 99.90% min
Oxygen (O) 0.02 – 0.05%
Impurities (Fe, Pb, Zn) 0.05% max

Role of Purity

  • Copper (Cu): Provides electrical and thermal conductivity, ductility, and corrosion resistance
  • Oxygen (O): Present in minimal amounts in ETP copper to aid mechanical processing
  • Trace Impurities: Kept minimal to maintain high conductivity and corrosion resistance

High-purity copper ensures reliable electrical performance and superior mechanical properties.

Copper commercial grade round bars provide excellent mechanical and physical properties:

  • Tensile Strength: 210 – 250 MPa
  • Yield Strength: 70 – 100 MPa
  • Elongation: 35 – 50%
  • Hardness (HB): 45 – 60
  • Density: 8.9 g/cm³

These properties make copper bars suitable for structural, electrical, and thermal applications where ductility, formability, and conductivity are required.


Physical Properties of Copper Commercial Grade Round Bars

  • Melting Point: 1085°C
  • Boiling Point: 2562°C
  • Thermal Conductivity: 390 – 400 W/m·K
  • Electrical Conductivity: ≥ 97% IACS
  • Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: 16.5 µm/m°C

Machinability of Copper Commercial Grade Round Bars

Copper is highly machinable due to its softness and ductility:

  • Can be turned, milled, drilled, and ground easily
  • Low tool wear compared to harder metals
  • Excellent surface finish achievable
  • Suitable for precision engineering, electrical contacts, and mechanical parts

With proper machining, copper bars can be fabricated into highly precise components for electrical, thermal, and mechanical applications.


Corrosion Resistance of Copper Commercial Grade Round Bars

  • Resistant to water, atmospheric exposure, and mild acids
  • Forms a protective oxide layer over time, preventing further corrosion
  • Suitable for plumbing, marine, electrical, and heat exchanger applications
  • Maintains performance in industrial and residential environments

Copper bars are particularly useful in applications requiring long-term exposure to water and air.


Weldability of Copper Commercial Grade Round Bars

  • Can be welded using TIG, MIG, or brazing techniques
