Copper for CNC Machining
Copper's superior thermal and electrical conductivity, along with other important attributes such as durability and ease of fabrication, make it a favored material for numerous components.
Copper 101 and 110 possess exceptional thermal and electrical conductivity, making them highly sought after for bus bars, wire connectors, and various electrical applications, including components for power transmission and distribution systems. These copper alloys also provide remarkable durability, resistance to corrosion, and ease of fabrication.
They exhibit excellent corrosion resistance and have natural antimicrobial properties. The power, automotive, medical, and aerospace sectors utilize copper specifically for these attributes.

C101
CORROSION RESISTANCE, CONDUCTIVITY, DUCTILITY
Copper C101, also known as oxygen-free copper, is an extremely pure metal with a composition of approximately 99.99% Cu. This high level of purity provides it with outstanding conductivity, earning it the nickname HC (high conductivity) copper. It is also the foundational material for brass and bronze alloys.
Ultimate Strength | Yield Strength | Fatigue Strength | Shear Strength | Shear Modulus | Hardness (Brinell) | Elongation at Break |
34-50 ksi | 10-45 ksi | 13 ksi | 23-28 ksi | 6,300 ksi | 64-83 | 12-45% |
C110
CONDUCTIVITY, COST EFFECTIVE, MACHINABILITY
Copper C110, also known as Electrolytic Tough Pitch (ETP) Copper, is another option with high purity. Although it is not as pure as Copper 101, it contains 99.90% Cu. This alloy is the most commonly used due to its cost-effectiveness and suitability for most electrical applications. Additionally, it is easier to machine compared to Copper 101.
Ultimate Strength | Yield Strength | Fatigue Strength | Shear Strength | Shear Modulus | Hardness (Brinell) | Elongation |
32-50 ksi | 10-45 ksi | 13 ksi | 22-28 ksi | 6,300 ksi | 57-83 | 14-55% |
