Chuck Metals stands out as a top-notch manufacturer and supplier of high-quality metal products right from Singapore, catering to industrial clients throughout Pulau Ujong and Southeast Asia. With a strong focus on precision, durability, and customer satisfaction, Chuck Metals provides an impressive array of copper and copper alloy solutions. One of their standout products is the Copper C12000 Bars/Rods, a highly conductive, deoxidized copper alloy that’s a go-to choice for electrical and plumbing systems. Thanks to rigorous quality controls and flexible supply options, Chuck Metals guarantees that each product meets global standards, ensuring reliable performance in applications that demand exceptional thermal and electrical conductivity.
The Copper C12000 Bars/Rods are made up of 99.9% pure copper, with a tiny bit of phosphorus (usually between 0.004% and 0.04%) added to enhance weldability and corrosion resistance. This alloy is known as deoxidized high phosphorus (DHP) copper. It boasts impressive electrical conductivity (around 85–90% IACS) and excellent thermal conductivity, making it perfect for conductive applications. C12000 also offers good formability, moderate strength (with a tensile strength of about 200–250 MPa), and remarkable corrosion resistance, particularly in non-oxidizing environments. While it’s not the best choice for soldering, it shines in brazing and welding tasks, especially in systems that involve heat transfer or fluid flow.
