What is Copper C10100 (OFE)?

Copper C10100 (UNS C10100, OFE — Oxygen-Free Electronic grade) is the purest commercial copper with Cu ≥99.99% and oxygen ≤0.0005%. Produced by vacuum or inert-atmosphere melting to prevent oxide inclusion. Provides maximum electrical conductivity (101% IACS) and outstanding ductility. Non-magnetic, excellent thermal conductivity 391 W/m·K. C10100 fasteners and conductors are used in superconductor magnets, particle accelerator vacuum chambers, semiconductor processing equipment, RF/microwave hardware, high-vacuum systems requiring ultra-low outgassing and precision electronics where oxygen-free purity is mandatory. Governed by ASTM B170.

Chemical Composition

Copper C10100, known as Oxygen-Free Electronic (OFE) copper, is refined to a minimum purity of 99.99%, virtually eliminating oxygen and impurity content. This ultra-high purity minimizes the presence of cuprous oxide inclusions that can otherwise cause embrittlement and hydrogen cracking during welding or high-temperature exposure. The absence of deoxidizers such as phosphorus ensures maximum electrical and thermal conductivity while preserving excellent ductility and grain structure integrity.

These characteristics make C10100 fasteners exceptionally reliable for applications requiring superior conductivity, corrosion resistance and mechanical stability. The material resists oxidation and atmospheric corrosion effectively, maintains performance under thermal cycling, and exhibits excellent cold-forming properties. Its high purity ensures consistent mechanical behavior, making it ideal for electrical connectors, busbar assemblies, vacuum systems and precision fastener applications demanding both conductivity and structural dependability.

Applications

Copper C10100 (OFE) Fastener Applications

Copper C10100 (OFE) Fasteners from RealBolt Engineering Industries are specified wherever corrosion resistance, elevated-temperature strength, or chemical media compatibility is critical to fastener performance. Primary industries and end-uses for Copper C10100 (OFE) fasteners include oxygen-free electronic; 99.99% cu; electrical components, precision fasteners.
Copper C10100 fasteners are used where low contact resistance, high current carrying capability and thermal transfer are more important than high mechanical strength. Typical uses include busbar joints, grounding hardware, switchgear, transformers and power distribution assemblies.
The very low oxygen content and high purity of OFE copper make C10100 fasteners suitable for vacuum chambers, electron tube hardware, RF equipment and clean electronic assemblies where low outgassing and stable conductivity are required.
C10100 copper retains excellent ductility at cryogenic temperatures and conducts heat efficiently, making it useful for cryostats, superconducting magnet hardware, thermal straps and low-temperature instrumentation assemblies.
OFE copper fasteners provide nonmagnetic performance and good resistance to atmospheric and fresh water corrosion. They are selected for instrumentation, laboratory equipment and specialty assemblies where ammonia, sulfides, strong oxidizing acids and severe galvanic couples are controlled.

Answers for Buyers

Frequently Asked Questions About Copper C10100 (OFE) Fasteners

Browse the questions below to get quick, expert answers about Copper C10100 (OFE) Fasteners — covering alloy specifications (UNS C10100), applicable standards (ASTM B170), temperature ratings, corrosion performance, and how to source certified Copper C10100 (OFE) fasteners from RealBolt Engineering Industries.
C10100 OFE (Oxygen-Free Electronic) has Cu ≥99.99% and O ≤0.0005% — produced in vacuum/inert atmosphere. C11000 ETP (Electrolytic Tough Pitch) has Cu ≥99.9% and O 0.02–0.05% — produced by conventional electrolysis. OFE is completely immune to hydrogen embrittlement and has lower outgassing — required for vacuum and electronics applications.
ASTM B170 (oxygen-free electrolytic copper rod, bar and shapes), ASTM B187 (bus bar), ASTM B152 (sheet and plate). ASME SB-170 for pressure vessel applications. All supplied annealed or cold-drawn with EN 10204 3.1 MTC including oxygen content verification.
Yes — OFE copper is completely immune to hydrogen embrittlement (hydrogen disease) that affects ETP copper. ETP copper’s intergranular Cu2O inclusions react with H2 at elevated temperature, causing embrittlement. C10100 and C12200 are both specified for hydrogen brazing and high-temperature H2 environments.
Copper retains adequate properties to approximately 200°C for sustained fastener service. Above 200°C, creep relaxation causes bolt load loss — Monel 400 or other alloys are preferred for elevated temperature. For thermal cycling applications, use annealed C10100 to avoid work-hardening embrittlement.
