Copper CNC Machining

Pure copper CNC machining is very difficult to and requires specialized knowledge. Alloying the copper with elements such as tin, silicon, zinc, aluminum, and nickel can drastically improve machinability because it changes the material composition.

Copper alloys have great electrical and thermal conductivity, which make them natural choices for many electrical applications, such as bus bars and wire connectors.

101 copper offers higher conductivity due to its purity.
110 copper is generally easier to CNC machine making it more cost effective.
Copper beryllium (CuBe) combines high strength with non-magnetic and non-sparking qualities. It is excellent for CNC machining, forming and general metalworking.

Copper’s unique benefits and properties make it a valuable material for a wide variety of applications and is easy to machine.
Copper has good corrosion resistance and is especially malleable and ductile. It is a good heat and electricity conductor and can be hard and soft soldered easily.
With copper CNC machining, precise copper parts can be produced quickly and with a high level of repeatability, ensuring each part meets strict requirements and specifications.
Copper is suitable for a wide array of applications such as pipes, electric cabling, circuit boards, electronics, wiring, radiators and cooling systems.
