S & D Non-Ferrous stocks Sulphur Copper bars in CW114C, a free-machining copper with a great, approximately 80% machinability rating. Adding sulphur to copper makes for a ‘free-machining copper’ as the sulphur acts as a chip breaker, making it noticeably easier to machine than pure copper and only having a minor effect on the conductivity of the metal.
The speed of machining can reach up to 4 times faster than those of pure copper. It has a greater tooling life span is also seen when using sulphur copper over pure copper. Sulphur Copper is a multipurpose metal as it combines the high thermal and electrical conductivity values that are usually only seen in pure copper, however, the ease of machining from the sulphur allows it to be used in a greater number of circumstances.
