Copper Cathodes
Copper cathode is a pure form of copper that has been electrolytically refined and has a minimum purity of 99.95%. It is a rectangular plate-shaped product with a smooth, bright surface and is used as a raw material in the production of copper products, including wire, rod, and tube. Copper cathode is valued for its high electrical and thermal conductivity, good formability, and resistance to corrosion. It is widely used in electrical and construction industries, as well as in the manufacturing of coins, brass, and other alloys. Copper cathodes are produced by a process called electrorefining, in which impurities are removed from the copper anode and deposited at the cathode. The result is a high-purity product with a uniform composition and consistent quality.
Copper cathode is produced in several grades, each with different specifications and characteristics. Some common grades of copper cathode include:
Grade A: A high-purity copper cathode with a minimum purity of 99.95%.
Electrolytic Tough Pitch (ETP) Copper: A high-purity copper cathode with a minimum purity of 99.90% and high electrical conductivity, commonly used in electrical applications.
Oxygen-Free High Conductivity (OFHC) Copper: A high-purity copper cathode with a minimum purity of 99.99% and high electrical conductivity, used in applications where high electrical conductivity and low oxygen content are important, such as in the electronics and superconductivity industries.
The choice of copper cathode grade depends on the specific requirements of each application, including electrical conductivity, purity, and oxygen content. It is important to choose the right grade of copper cathode to ensure the quality and performance of the final product.
