C101 Machining
A Guide to Copper C101 CNC Machined Parts: Properties, Applications and Design Considerations
What is C101?
C101, also commonly known as CW004A is 99.9% pure copper. After silver, it is the next best conductor of electricity and therefore widely used in electronics applications. It is also used in a wide range of engineering applications due to high impact strength and ductility as well as corrosion resistance.
Main Attributes of C101:
- Good to excellent corrosion resistance
- Excellent electrical conductivity
- Very good thermal conductivity
- High ductility
- High impact strength
- Recyclable and sustainable
- Poor weldability but otherwise easily joinable
- Aesthetically pleasing
- Distinctive smell and disagreeable taste
- Yellowish/red metal
- Subject to surface oxidation/patination
- Non magnetic
- Soft malleable metal
