Material Datasheet Cu-OF
Cu-OF 20 03
Description Cu-OF is an oxygen-free, high conductivity copper with 99.99% minimum Cu. It offers the
advantages of both electrolytic tough pitch copper (ETP) and phosphor deoxidized copper. The
high purity and absence of deoxidizers accounts for 100% IACS electrical conductivity as well as
no susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement. Cu-OF has a very good formability and can be
soldered and welded, which makes it superior to Cu-ETP in these aspects.
The main field of application are very critical electrical, electronic and communication
components.
Composition
Cu Bi Pb O
Electrical The electrical conductivity depends on chemical composition, the level of cold deformation and
conductivity the grain size. A high level of deformation as well as a small grain size decrease the conductivity.

Corrosion Copper is resistant to: Natural and industrial atmospheres as well as maritime air, drinking and
Resistance service water, non oxidizing acids, alkaline solutions and neutral saline solutions.
Copper is not resistant to: Ammonia, halogenide, cyanide and hydrogen sulfide solutions and
atmospheres, oxidizing acids and sea water (especially at high flow rates).
Typical uses Radar components, components of electrical engineering, conductors, contacts and terminals,
printed circuits, carrier tapes, flat-type cables, flexible circuits, terminal lugs, copper ceramic
substrates
