Cobre C11000

Copper C11000, universally known as Electrolytic Tough Pitch (ETP) copper, is the industry standard for electrical conductivity and thermal management. With a minimum purity of 99.90% and a minimum electrical conductivity of 100% IACS, it is the premier choice for high-voltage busbars, switchgear, and power distribution components. At Jucheng Precision, we specialize in the high-volume CNC machining of C11000, utilizing advanced tool geometries and high-speed 5-axis milling to overcome its inherent "gummy" nature. Whether you need complex liquid cooling blocks or precision-plated automotive busbars, our IATF 16949 certified production lines ensure your copper components are delivered with exceptional precision and surface quality.

Fabrication Guidelines for C11000 ETP Copper

Managing Ductility:
C11000 is highly ductile and “soft,” which can lead to burr formation. Consejo: We use specialized high-rake tooling and high-speed spindles to ensure clean, burr-free edges without the need for manual deburring.

Chip Evacuation:
ETP copper produces long, stringy chips that can wrap around the tool. Consejo: We utilize high-pressure flood coolant and peck-drilling cycles to break chips into manageable pieces, ensuring safe automated production.

Thermal Control:
Copper expands significantly when heated during machining. Consejo: We monitor part temperature strictly and use optimized tool paths to keep the workpiece cool, guaranteeing dimensional consistency across large batches.

Workholding Strategies:
To prevent marring the soft reddish surface, we use custom plastic-faced jaws or vacuum tables for holding thin C11000 busbar plates during high-speed milling.
