Widest range of tools on the market
Our long history in making hollow conductors has given us thousands of tools for creating most sizes of conductors with very short lead times. The sizes start from 4 x 4 mm (< 0.1 kg/m) and continue up to above 100mm in width (>20 kg/m). We can also supply conductors in small quantities for testing and for prototype purposes.
Material for Hollow conductors
Our hollow conductors are made from high-conductivity, oxygen-free copper OF-OK®, which is a high purity copper with an electrical conductivity of at least 100% IACS. OF-OK oxygen-free copper used in our hollow conductors is cast in our own foundry in electric furnaces using selected high purity raw materials. This means we can control the whole manufacturing process from casting to signing the inspection certification, and ensure the consistency of our product from batch to batch.
If higher softening temperatures or creep strengths are required, we recommend the use of silver bearing copper grades CuAg 0.03% or CuAg 0.1%, which are based on OF-OK copper. These copper grades offer high electrical and thermal conductivity and their freedom from oxygen ensures excellent brazeability and weldability, making them superior to oxygen-bearing copper grades.
