High performance oxygen free copper
Uses of oxygen-free copper
Oxygen-free copper has been widely used in many fields due to its excellent performance.
1. ** Electronics Industry ** : Oxygen-free copper is an important material in the electronics industry. It is often made into oxygen-free copper plates, oxygen-free copper strips, oxygen-free copper wires and other copper materials, which are used to manufacture wires and cables, batteries, motors, tachronic tubes, microwave tubes, transistor components, etc. Its high electrical conductivity ensures the high efficiency and reliability of electronic devices.
2. ** Heat Dissipation and Heat Exchange ** : Oxygen-free copper has excellent thermal conductivity, and thus is widely used in fields such as radiators and heat exchangers that require efficient heat conduction.
3. ** Pipe Materials ** : In pipe materials for water supply, gas supply, heating, etc., oxygen-free copper is highly favored due to its high strength and corrosion resistance.
4. ** High-temperature and High-pressure Equipment ** : In the chemical industry, the stability and high strength of oxygen-free copper make it an ideal material for manufacturing high-temperature and high-pressure equipment.
5. ** Instrument and Meter Components ** : Oxygen-free copper is also used in the manufacture of electric vacuum instrument and meter components, as well as coaxial tubes for liquefied petroleum gas service pipes, medical gas oxygen tubes, etc.
Advantages of oxygen-free copper
The reason why oxygen-free copper can be widely used in multiple fields mainly lies in the following advantages:
1. ** High electrical conductivity ** : Oxygen-free copper has an extremely high electrical conductivity, reaching 100% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard), which gives it a significant advantage in fields such as wires and cables that require efficient transmission of electrical energy.
2. ** Corrosion Resistance ** : Oxygen-free copper has extremely strong corrosion resistance. In salt spray tests, its corrosion resistance is three times stronger than that of ordinary copper, which gives it a longer service life in fields such as submarine cables that need to withstand harsh environments for a long time.
3. ** High Strength ** : Oxygen-free copper features high strength and excellent processing performance, capable of withstanding significant mechanical stress, making it suitable for manufacturing various structural and connecting components.
4. ** Excellent thermal conductivity ** : Oxygen-free copper has outstanding thermal conductivity. When oxygen-free copper is used in heat sinks, the thermal conductivity efficiency can be increased by 25%
