Oxygen Free Copper CW009A (OFE)
CW009A free machining oxygen free copper is one of the purest coppers on the market. It also has the highest thermal and electrical conductivity values. The oxygen content os this useful copper is restricted in order to maximise its hydrogen embrittlement resistance. C110 copper, as it is otherwise known has excellent joining and formability qualities, in particular its excellent cold formability.
