Product Overview

What are Copper C10100 (OFE) Threaded Rods?

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.

Material Chemistry

Copper C10100 (OFE) Chemical Composition

Copper C10100 (OFE) Threaded Rods are produced from either tin-stabilized Naval Brass C46400 or aluminium-nickel-iron Aluminium Bronze C63000, with elemental limits per ASTM and MIL-B-24059. Tin (0.5–1%) in Naval Brass prevents dezincification in seawater; aluminium and nickel additions in Al Bronze C63000 provide non-sparking ATEX Zone 1 compliance.

Why Copper C10100 (OFE) Alloy Composition Matters for Threaded Rods

OFE Purity — Maximum Conductivity
The 99.99% copper content and ultra-low oxygen ensure electrical conductivity =101% IACS, making these rods ideal for busbars, earthing, and high-frequency applications where voltage drop must be minimized.
Low Oxygen — Vacuum & Hydrogen Service
Oxygen-free copper prevents embrittlement and outgassing in vacuum, cryogenic, and hydrogen-rich environments, ensuring long-term reliability in scientific and semiconductor equipment.
Trace Impurities — Controlled for Reliability
Strict limits on silver and other elements prevent unwanted alloying effects, preserving the ductility and corrosion resistance required for critical fastener applications.
