Oxygen Free Copper By Prativ Technology & Engineering

Our organization is a extremely famous and well established company in importing, supplying, and trading of Oxygen Free Copper in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Oxygen-free high thermal conductivity (OFHC) copper is widely used in cryogenics. OFHC is produced by the direct conversion of selected refined cathodes and castings under carefully controlled conditions to prevent contamination of the pure oxygen-free metal during processing. The method of producing OFHC copper ensures extra high grade of metal with a copper content of 99.99%. With so small a content of extraneous elements, the inherent properties of elemental copper are brought forth to a high degree. Characteristics of such copper are high ductility, high electrical and thermal conductivity, high impact strength, good creep resistance, ease of welding, and low relative volatility under high vacuum.

Industrial applications of pure copper
For industrial applications, oxygen-free copper is used for its chemical purity than its electrical conductivity. OF/OFE grade copper is used in plasma deposition (sputtering) processes, including the manufacture of semiconductors and superconductor components, as well as in high vacuum devices and nuclear power plants.

In any of these applications, the release of oxygen or other impurities can cause undesirable chemical reactions with other materials in the local environment
