Difference between C11000 and C10200 copper

C11000 and C10200 are different in composition, performance and application areas, and the choice of which material to use should be determined according to specific needs.

Component difference
‌C11000‌ : This is a high purity copper alloy, copper content of more than 99.90%, no specific requirements for oxygen content, electrical conductivity ≥96%‌.
C10200‌ : this is a kind of oxygen-free copper, the purity of 99.97%, oxygen content is not more than 0.003%, the total content of impurities is not more than 0.03%‌
Performance difference
C11000 has good processing performance, but contains a trace amount of oxygen may affect its electrical and thermal conductivity, and easy to cause “hydrogen disease”, should not be processed and used in high temperature environment ‌.
The C10200 does not have these problems and has better processing performance ‌.
‌Corrosion resistance ‌ : both have good corrosion resistance, but the specific performance may be different due to the different environment and conditions of use ‌.
Application field
C11000‌ : because of its excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, widely used in electrical, electronic, mechanical manufacturing and other fields ‌.
C10200‌ : Because of its high purity and excellent electrical conductivity, it is often used in the manufacture of extremely demanding electronic components and connectors .
