In the contemporary landscape of high-speed electronic transmission and power electronics, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) has transcended its role as a mere industrial raw material to become the backbone of modern technological infrastructure. Unlike standard electrolytic tough pitch (ETP) copper, OFC is refined in an oxygen-free environment, resulting in a purity level that often exceeds 99.99%. This meticulous process removes the presence of cuprous oxides, which are known to cause "hydrogen embrittlement"—a catastrophic failure mode in high-temperature industrial applications.

The global demand for Oxygen-Free Copper bars is currently driven by the massive shift towards Decarbonization and Digitalization. As of 2024, the market is witnessing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 6.5%. Major industrial hubs in Asia and Europe are prioritizing OFC for EV charging infrastructure and offshore wind power systems.四川克派新材料有限公司 (Sichuan Kepai New Materials Co., Ltd.) stands at the forefront of this revolution, specializing in R&D and production of special copper alloys that bridge the gap between high conductivity and extreme durability.
Utilizing high-vacuum induction melting to ensure oxygen levels stay below 10ppm. This roadmap focus ensures maximum electrical conductivity (min 101% IACS) and superior surface finish.
Integration of Tellurium and Beryllium at molecular levels. This technology improves free-cutting capabilities without sacrificing the intrinsic conductive properties of the copper matrix.
Transitioning toward closed-loop recycling and zero-emission refining. Our future outlook incorporates ISO 14001:2015 standards to meet global ESG requirements for Tier-1 suppliers.
OFC's non-magnetic properties and biocompatibility make it essential for MRI scanners, surgical tools, and high-frequency therapy units.
Essential for high-voltage busbars, battery connectors, and inverter modules where heat dissipation and low resistance are critical for range and safety.
High-reliability wire and connectors for radar systems, satellite communication, and spacecraft avionics where atmospheric corrosion must be zero.
Copper alloys with superior resistance to seawater corrosion and bio-fouling, ideal for submarine cables and offshore platform heat exchangers.
High-purity OFC bars are used in base station antennas and RF filters to minimize signal loss and maximize data throughput in high-frequency bands.
Established in May 2017, Sichuan Kepai New Materials Co., Ltd. is a high-tech private company specializing in R&D, production, and sales of high conductivity and high strength free cutting tellurium copper and other special copper alloys.
A: C10100 (OFE - Oxygen-Free Electronic) is 99.99% pure with controlled impurity levels, while C10200 (OF) is 99.95% pure. For high-vacuum or semiconductor applications, C10100 is preferred.
A: Tellurium addition significantly improves the machinability (free-cutting) of copper. Kepai's unique OFT copper combines high conductivity with high processing efficiency.
A: Low internal resistance reduces heat generation during rapid charging and discharging, which extends battery life and improves overall vehicle efficiency.
A: We strictly adhere to ASTM, DIN, and EN standards, complemented by IATF 16949 for automotive-grade quality assurance.
