Nestled in the industrial heart of Safat, Kuwait, Nimish Metal has built a reputation as a trusted source for high-grade metals. We take particular pride in our extensive inventory of Copper C10300 Bars and Rods, known for their exceptional quality and reliability. Whether your project demands round bars, squares, or hexagonal rods, we ensure every piece meets the highest industry standards, backed by our commitment to timely delivery and outstanding customer service. When you need performance you can count on, our team is here to provide the right materials for the job.
In terms of its makeup, Copper C10300, often called Oxygen-Free Electronic (OFE) copper, is defined by its extreme purity of 99.95% copper. This high copper content gives it excellent electrical conductivity, ranking at or above 101% IACS. Mechanically, it offers a yield strength around 69 MPa and a tensile strength of about 241 MPa. It’s a relatively soft and ductile material, which makes it easy to work with, and it can be hardened through cold working for applications needing a bit more strength.
