Copper Wire Rod

Copper Wire Rod

Semi-finished copper wire rod is preferred in many industrial applications, especially in the production of cables, wires and various conductive elements, thanks to its high conductivity and homogeneous structure. Produced by the continuous casting method, this product fully complies with the following international standards:

• Standards ASTM B170, ASTM B49, EN 1977

• Nominal Diameter Range: 8.00 - 12.50 mm & 20.00 mm (5/16″ - 1/2″ - 3/4″)

• Dimensional Tolerance: ± 0.38 mm (± 0.015″)

• Electrical Conductivity: ≥ 58.00 µS-m/Ω-mm² (>% 101 IACS)

1. Oxygen Free (OF) Wire Rod

Oxygen Free (OF) wire rod is used in applications where the most critical electrical and mechanical performance is required, especially due to its ultra-low oxygen content.

• Standards ASTM B170, ASTM B49, EN 1977

• Nominal Diameter Range: 8.00 - 12.50 mm & 20.00 mm (5/16″ - 1/2″ - 3/4″)

• Dimensional Tolerance: ± 0.38 mm (± 0.015″)

• Max. Oxygen Content: 3 ppm

• Conductivity Min. 58.58 µS-m/Ω-mm² (>% 101 IACS)

• Elongation (% Elongation): Min. % 35

Advantages:

• Excellent surface quality

• Highest energy efficiency

• Deep drawing and cold working capability

2. ETP (Electrolytic Tough Pitch) Wire Rod

ETP grade wire rod offers a good price-performance balance with higher oxygen content and is widely used in general purpose applications requiring electrical conductivity.

• Standards ASTM B49, EN 1977

• Nominal Diameter Range: 8 mm, 11 mm, 16 mm (5/16″ - 7/16″ - 5/8″)

• Dimensional Tolerance: ± 0.38 mm (± 0.015″)

• Oxygen Content: 180 - 300 ppm

• Conductivity Min. 58.58 µS-m/Ω-mm² (>% 101 IACS)

• Elongation (% Elongation): Min. % 40

Advantages:

• Economic price

• Easy processability

• High mechanical strength
