Semih Metals, headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, is a reputable manufacturer and supplier of premium non-ferrous metal products. With a commitment to quality, precision, and innovation, the company offers a wide selection of copper alloys, including high-purity **Copper C10500 Bars/Rods**. Known for their exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, these bars and rods are engineered to meet the stringent requirements of electrical, electronic, and industrial applications. Semih Metals combines advanced manufacturing technology with rigorous quality standards to deliver consistent, high-performance products tailored for both domestic and international clients in demanding technical sectors.
**Copper C10500 Bars/Rods** are composed of oxygen-free electronic (OFE) copper, containing a minimum of 99.99% pure copper with extremely low oxygen content (less than 0.0005%). This results in unmatched electrical conductivity (over 101% IACS) and excellent thermal transfer capabilities. The alloy also offers superior resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, making it suitable for vacuum and high-purity environments. Mechanical properties include a tensile strength range of 220–360 MPa and high elongation up to 50%, depending on the temper. C10500 is non-heat treatable but can be cold worked, ensuring optimal formability and structural integrity in precision components.
