Decoding the standards of C10100 and C10200 for high-end industrial utility.
In the realm of advanced manufacturing, the term "Oxygen-Free Copper" (OFC) refers to a group of high-conductivity wrought copper alloys that have been electrolytically refined to reduce the level of oxygen to .001% or below. As a leading Oxygen-free copper tube supplier, we recognize that the difference between standard ETP (Electrolytic Tough Pitch) copper and OFC is not just chemical, but functional.
This is the purest grade, with 99.99% copper content. It is essential for vacuum electronics where "outgassing" must be minimized. Our C10100 tubes are processed in an oxygen-free environment to ensure immunity to hydrogen embrittlement.
With 99.95% purity, C10200 offers excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. It is the gold standard for high-current busbars, waveguides, and cryogenic applications where structural integrity at low temperatures is paramount.
For global procurement officers, the "Information Gain" lies in understanding the Hydrogen Embrittlement Test. While standard copper fails when exposed to reducing atmospheres at high temperatures, our OFC tubes maintain 100% ductility, ensuring the longevity of critical components in fusion reactors and aerospace propulsion systems.

From New Energy Vehicles to Aerospace: The Expanding Horizon of OFC.
The rise of 800V architecture in Electric Vehicles demands materials that can handle extreme heat and high conductivity. Oxygen-free copper tubes are used in liquid-cooled charging cables and high-precision battery connectors to reduce energy loss.
In high-frequency signal transmission, surface impurities can cause signal attenuation. Our OFC tubes provide the "Skin Effect" efficiency required for advanced waveguides and microwave tubes in 5G base stations.
Used in MRI machines and scientific accelerators, oxygen-free copper maintains its thermal conductivity even at temperatures near absolute zero, preventing thermal runaway in superconducting magnets.
Copper has bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects, utilized in high-end medical diagnostic tools.
Optimal electrical and thermal conductivity makes it the best choice for power system efficiency.
Ideal for generators and data transmission parts in extreme high-altitude environments.
With the industry's core technical personnel, Kepai possesses high independent R&D capacity. We have developed a new type of highly conductive oxygen-free tellurium copper. Compared with traditional copper tellurium, this material has lower impurities and higher consistency.
Our company has passed ISO9001:2015, ISO14001:2015 and OHSAS 45001:2018, reflecting our international standards in quality, environment and occupational health.
We focus on sustainable development through the use of environmentally friendly, free-cutting copper alloys to reduce environmental impact during manufacturing.
Expert answers for procurement managers and engineers.
The primary benefit is resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. OFC can be brazed or welded in hydrogen-rich atmospheres without becoming brittle. Additionally, its high purity results in higher electrical conductivity (up to 101% IACS) and lower outgassing in vacuum systems.
Yes. As a custom Oxygen-free copper tube company, we offer a wide range of wall thicknesses and diameters tailored to specific industrial blueprints, especially for plasma cutting electrodes and heat exchangers.
We utilize vacuum induction melting (VIM) and continuous casting under a protective atmosphere. Each batch undergoes spectroscopic analysis to ensure oxygen levels remain below 5ppm.
With our China Factory 4.0 efficiency, standard stock items ship within 7-10 days, while custom alloy formulations typically range from 3-5 weeks depending on the complexity of the extrusion.
