China Copper CNC Machining Factory: Reliable Suppliers for Precision Copper Components and Alloys
Copper & Copper Alloy Material Library
We stock a wide range of high-purity coppers and key copper alloys, enabling optimal selection for conductivity, machinability, strength, and wear resistance.
Copper 101 / C110 (Oxygen-Free Electronic Copper)
The purest commercially available grade (99.99% Cu). Offers exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity. Primarily used for high-frequency conductors, waveguides, vacuum components, and other critical electronic applications where high purity is essential.
Copper C110 (Electrolytic Tough Pitch Copper)
The most common and widely used copper (99.9% Cu). Provides excellent electrical conductivity and formability. The standard choice for electrical components, busbars, connectors, and general conductive parts.
Copper C932 (SAE 660 - High-Leaded Tin Bronze)
A bearing bronze with excellent machinability, good anti-galling properties, and high load capacity. Ideal for bushings, bearings, thrust washers, and other applications requiring low friction and wear resistance against steel.
Copper 260 (Cartridge Brass - C26000)
A classic 70/30 brass with superb cold-working properties, good strength, and excellent corrosion resistance. Widely used for plumbing components, electrical sockets, connectors, decorative hardware, and custom machined parts requiring a balance of formability and durability.
Copper 360 (Free-Cutting Brass - C36000)
Known as the standard for machinability among copper alloys. Offers high-speed machining capabilities, producing small, broken chips and excellent surface finishes. The preferred choice for high-volume production of complex parts like gears, fittings, valves, and screw machine components.
