Engineered to comply with ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949 standards for global industrial applications
In the modern era of high-frequency communications, aerospace electrification, and clean-energy drivetrains, the role of metallurgy has transitioned from simple mechanical structural design to advanced micro-structural electrical optimization. Pure Copper Wire serves as the central nervous system for modern high-performance devices. However, standard commercial grades often fall short when subjected to high-current densities, high-frequency signal processing, or extreme structural loads.
The global demand for high-conductivity pure copper and copper alloys is surging due to the aggressive expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, subsea renewable power grids, and precision healthcare electronics. Today's commercial requirements demand oxygen levels of less than 10 ppm (Oxygen-Free High Conductivity, OFHC) or the integration of trace metallurgy, such as Tellurium (Te) or Beryllium (Be), to yield the perfect matrix of high tensile strength and high electrical conductivity (IACS %).
Established in May 2017, Sichuan Kepai New Materials Co., Ltd. is a high-tech private enterprise focused exclusively on the advanced research, development, production, and distribution of high-conductivity, high-strength free-cutting copper alloys, oxygen-free copper, and tailor-made pure copper formulations. Spanning over a massive 29,000 square meters modern processing facility, Kepai operates state-of-the-art horizontal continuous casting lines, cold-drawing chambers, and micro-crystallographic analysis laboratories.
Independent research team focusing on alloy formulation, processing, and heat treatments.
Fully compliant with ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and OHSAS 45001:2018 certifications.
Over 30 patent certificates for proprietary processes, including unique oxygen-free tellurium copper.
Traditional tellurium copper alloys have long suffered from high lead contents or unstable conductivities that fail modern green environmental standardizations (RoHS/REACH). Sichuan Kepai has solved these engineering bottlenecks by manufacturing low-oxygen, high-conductivity Tellurium Copper with an independent R&D framework. This innovative metallurgy keeps electrical conductivity above 98% IACS while maintaining superior free-machinability.
As a premier Chinese factory exporter, Kepai leverages the structural advantages of localized raw material sourcing, scale-optimized production, and integrated metallurgy. Unlike distributors, our full-cycle facility manages raw electrolytic copper cathode inputs, vacuum induction melting, hot extrusion, high-precision drawing, and non-destructive electromagnetic testing.
Our dedicated QA lab features high-accuracy direct-reading spectrometers to verify chemical compositions, digital conductivity meters (using eddy-current technology), and mechanical stress-strain testers to ensure our copper alloys possess uniform microstructural patterns.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| C10100 (Oxygen-Free High Conductivity) | Cu ≥ 99.99%, O < 10ppm | ≥ 101% | 220 - 320 | High-vacuum electronics, superconducting, semiconductor seals |
| C11000 (Pure Copper / ETP) | Cu ≥ 99.90% | ≥ 100% | 200 - 300 | Electrical busbars, transformer windings, high-conductivity wire |
| C14500 (Tellurium Copper) | Cu-0.5%Te-0.008%P | ≥ 93% - 98% | 250 - 380 | Plasma cutting electrodes, automotive connectors, switchgears |
| C17200 (Beryllium Copper) | Cu-1.9%Be-0.2%Co | 22% - 28% | 1100 - 1380 | High-stress springs, non-sparking safety tools, aerospace sensors |
| C14700 (Sulfur Copper) | Cu-0.3%S | ≥ 95% | 240 - 340 | Free-cutting electrical terminals, precision machined screws |
Understanding the real-world operational challenges of electrical systems is critical to selecting the correct copper metallurgy. Below are five strategic application fields where Kepai’s high-purity copper and special copper alloys resolve complex engineering problems:
Industrial procurement agents are shifting away from transactional purchasing towards long-term supply-chain partnerships. When sourcing pure copper wire or specialty alloys at wholesale volumes, three key criteria should be evaluated:
From aerospace avionics to clean medical systems, Kepai products are built for ultimate electrical endurance
Copper possesses highly biological-safety properties. Its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and non-magnetic parameters render it perfect for MRI shielding and surgical instrumentation.
With unmatched electrical and thermal conductivity, Kepai's copper alloys are highly optimized for high-power battery busbars, charging sockets, and electrical drivetrain rotors.
Engineered to endure radical gravitational pressures and high vibrations. Our beryllium and tellurium copper alloys are optimal for generators, data links, and avionics relays.
Highly resistant to saline erosion and marine bio-fouling, these structural materials perform reliably in submarine communication lines and offshore renewable platforms.
Providing unmatched electrode lifespan. Superior conductivity prevents arc heat buildup, optimizing nozzle life for manufacturing and automation plants.
Reducing connection-resistance losses in solar inverter arrays. Designed specifically to handle sustained heavy-load DC circuits with absolute thermal stability.
Rigorous certification pathways ensuring physical and structural reliability in key European, American, and Asian markets














Pushing the boundaries of pure copper and high-conductivity alloy research
Under standard casting protocols, adding Tellurium to raw copper matrices leads to localized oxide accumulation, which severely dampens thermal and electrical conductivities. Kepai’s engineering team has designed a closed-loop vacuum induction melting system that controls total dissolved oxygen levels below 5 ppm. By maintaining extremely low gas entrapment, our patented Oxygen-Free High Conductivity Tellurium Copper provides a unique blend of high speed machinability (equivalent to C36000 Free-Cutting Brass) and high electrical performance.
This innovation has revolutionized the CNC machining efficiency of high-power EV charging pins. Machining cycle times have dropped by 35% compared to ETP copper, while scrap rates have decreased from 12% to less than 0.8%.
Our export products undergo a strict chemical audit before departure. With rigorous ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and OHSAS 45001:2018 systems, Sichuan Kepai ensures every lot conforms to ASTM, EN, and JIS standards. Every shipment is accompanied by a certified material report (MTR) stating the exact ppm elements distribution, tensile properties, and eddy-current conductivity results.
