What Are The Advantages of Oxygen-Free Copper in Cables

Nowadays, more and more cable companies tend to use oxygen-free copper rods as raw materials for making cables. So compared with ordinary copper rods, what are the advantages of oxygen-free copper rods in terms of characteristics?

Oxygen-free copper refers to all copper without oxygen and residue, with a purity of 99.9%. Compared with ordinary copper rods, oxygen-free copper is made of raw materials with higher purity, and the quality is more reliable; oxygen-free copper is not easy to get hot, and the service life is longer; The xlpe cable、35mm cable xlpe、high flexible cable、3x6mm2 flexible cable、pvc insulated single core flexible copper cable etc conducter are Oxygen-free copper.

Oxygen-free copper resistors are smaller, do not consume per kilowatt-hour of electricity, and oxygen-free copper has low oxygen content, which is more beneficial to the ductility of the product, has good stretchability, and more stable quality.
According to the standard, the composition of oxygen-free copper and oxygen does not exceed 0.02%, and the total composition of residue does not exceed 0.05%. The purity of copper is very high. According to the

oxygen content and residue composition,
Generally, there is usually a very large portion of copper chloride residue in copper rods, which will adversely affect the ductility of raw materials. The high-quality oxygen-free copper rod basically has no residues and has good ductility.
Moreover, a good oxygen-free copper rod structure is well-proportioned and crystallized, which not only gets rid of the common porous structure defects in general copper rods, but also has excellent pullability in all cable diameters (general copper rods cannot be welded and heat treated less than 0.5 mm copper wire).

Generally speaking, compared with ordinary copper rods, oxygen-free copper rods have high-quality features such as high purity, low oxygen content, high conductivity, and good production and processing characteristics. Peeling and mixed defects,
It has undoubted advantages and is an ideal raw material in the fields of cable flexible awg、flexible cable 16mm、building wire、thw cables, wires and industrial electrical appliances.
