Copper sheet C106, also known as ASTM B152 C106, is a widely used grade of copper sheet known for its excellent electrical conductivity and thermal conduction properties. Here is a detailed specification of C106 copper sheet:
Material Composition:
- Copper (Cu): 99.95% minimum
Mechanical Properties:
- Tensile Strength: 34,000 psi (234 MPa) minimum
- Yield Strength: 15,000 psi (103 MPa) minimum
- Elongation in 2 inches: 40% minimum
- Rockwell Hardness (F): 60 maximum
Physical Properties:
- Density: 0.323 lb/in³ (8.94 g/cm³)
- Melting Point: 1,981°F (1083°C)
- Thermal Conductivity: 226 W/m·K at 20°C
- Electrical Conductivity: 100% based on IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard)
Dimensions and Thicknesses:
C106 copper sheet is available in various dimensions and thicknesses, including:
- Thickness: 0.005" - 0.625" (0.13 mm - 15.9 mm)
- Width: Up to 48" (1219 mm)
- Length: Up to 120" (3048 mm)
- Custom sizes can also be manufactured based on specific requirements.
Manufacturing Process:
Copper sheet C106 is created using a process called hot rolling, which involves the following steps:
1. Melting: High-quality copper is melted in a furnace.
2. Casting: The molten copper is then cast into large rectangular slabs known as billets.
3. Hot Rolling: The billets are passed through a series of rolling mills, which gradually reduce the thickness and increase the length and width of the copper sheet.
4. Annealing: Once the desired thickness is achieved, the sheet is annealed by heating and slowly cooling it to improve its mechanical properties.
5. Finishing: The annealed copper sheet is then processed to achieve the desired surface finish, and it may undergo cutting, leveling, or additional treatments as per specific requirements.
Uses:
C106 copper sheet finds applications in various industries, including electrical, electronics, automotive, construction, and manufacturing. It is commonly used for electrical conductors, gaskets, roofing materials, heat sinks, printed circuit boards (PCBs), transformers, spring contacts, and other applications where high electrical conductivity and thermal conduction are required.
