Due to its excellent conductivity, a copper square bar in grade C101, which we stock in considerable quantities This grade of copper is frequently used in electrical applications and also a popular material for use in general electronics, motor components, gas plants, sculpture, and architectural aspects.

Copper Square Bar Manufacturer and Stockholder in the UK

As the largest metal manufacturer and supplier within the United Kingdom, we’re able to provide high-quality copper, aluminium, steel, brass, bronze and many more alloys across the country in a short period. 

Our precisely manufactured copper busbars have the highest demand but we also supply square bars made of copper, aluminium, bronze, stainless steel and brass. We can manufacture a wide range of products in many different sizes. Our state-of-the-art EHRT metal bending and punching machines and CNC machining allow us to create custom profiles for any need. We also have a large stock of copper wire, round bars, flat bars, sheet metal and tubes made of high-end alloys. 

Advantages of C101 Grade for copper square stock

The formability of the copper square stock made from C101 is good, especially when using cold working techniques. Electric arc techniques like flux cored arc welding and soldering also provide great results.

A naturally hygienic material to use, copper bar slows and kills viruses including e-Coli, MRSA, legionella, and flu and cold viruses because it is antimicrobial. Slugs are effectively repelled by it as well.

C101 is an oxygen-free electronic copper grade with a copper purity of 99.99 per cent and an oxygen value of 0.0005.

This grade is prized more for its chemical purity than for its electrical conductivity, and it has a minimum IACS conductivity rating of 101%. It is meticulously controlled and polished in an oxygen-free atmosphere.

One of the most expensive grades of copper is C101.

Proper Maintenance of Bars

To make sure your copper square rods last as long as possible and work at their best, they need to be properly maintained:

  • Regular Cleaning: To keep your copper bars clean, wipe them down with a soft cloth to get rid of dirt and dust. A mix of vinegar and salt can be used to get rid of tougher stains.
  • Polishing: Polishing the copper regularly helps keep its shine and good looks. To bring back its natural shine, use the right copper polish.
  • Protection: If you are going to use it outside, you might want to put a protective coating on it to keep it from tarnishing and rusting from the weather.
