    Main applications

    OFC (MOFC-10200) and ETC are mainly used for electrical components, automotive parts, electrodes, terminals, and connectors.

    Production and sales of bars will be discontinued in March 2028.​

    Main features

    Oxygen free copper

    The risk of hydrogen embrittlement (blowhole, cracking) during welding and brazing is low, because any oxygen is not contained. Oxygen free copper is recommended for the parts with welding and brazing.

    Tough pitch copper

    The content of copper is around 99.90%, it contains 200-500 ppm oxygen. The electrical conductivity, the thermal conductivity are same as Oxygen free copper.
