Oxygen Free Copper

Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) is a type of high purity copper characterized by a very high copper content, usually over 99.95%, and almost no oxygen or copper oxide present. Oxygen-free copper has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, which exceeds that of ordinary copper due to its low impurity content. In addition, the anaerobic properties of oxygen-free copper reduce the formation of copper oxide, which can lead to reduced electrical conductivity and reduced heat transfer efficiency. This copper alloy is very important in electrical applications, especially in the manufacture of cables, wires, transformers, inductors and other components that require efficient transmission of electrical and thermal energy. The high purity of oxygen-free copper also makes it useful in chemical and industrial processes that require the highest purity copper, as well as as a base material in the manufacture of certain types of copper alloys. Due to its high purity and superior physical properties, oxygen-free copper is a valuable material in many industrial and technical fields.
