COPPER ANODE



Description of Product

Oxygen Free Copper

Copper containing neither oxygen nor reducing agent, which is melted and cast or melted with reducing by charcoal in vacuum. Its oxygen content shall be 0.001%(10ppm) or less. It shows good electrical conductivity, no hydrogen brittleness and excellent machinability.

Pyrophosphate Copper

Adding phosphorus for deoxidization to tough pitch (electrolytic tough pitch, ETP) copper, which is obtained by melting and refining electrolytic copper, makes phosphorus deoxidized copper(DLP or DHP), which is to be transformed, with adequate quantity of phosphorus added, to pyrophosphate copper of which oxygen and residual phosphorus content should be 0.01% or less and 0.040 to 0.065%, respectively.

Use of Product
