Product Overview
Copper C10100 (OFE) threaded rods are high-purity, oxygen-free electronic grade copper fasteners manufactured from UNS C10100 bar stock conforming to ASTM B187 and ASTM F68. With a minimum copper content of 99.99% and extremely low oxygen (=0.0005%), these rods offer exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, making them ideal for critical electrical, vacuum, and cryogenic applications.
OFE copper threaded rods are non-magnetic, highly ductile, and exhibit excellent resistance to hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking. They are widely specified for use in high-vacuum systems, particle accelerators, and electrical busbar assemblies where maximum conductivity and purity are essential.
