S & D Non-Ferrous have a great stock of tellurium copper bars in CW118C, which is a form of free machining oxygen free copper. Tellurium copper’s machining qualities are significantly improved upon those of pure copper, due to the addition of alloy. The machinability rating of pure copper is 20% compared with tellurium copper at 90% and the electrical and thermal conductivity is only slightly reduced.
Tellurium Copper bars are formed through refining, melting and casting for the production of the final product, however it is crucial that all oxygen is removed in order to achieve a resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, and also stop oxygen merging with the tellurium that would produce a brittle copper.
