Louis Metals provides Copper C12000 Bars and Rods in Houston, USA, catering to industries with high-quality deoxidized copper that boasts excellent corrosion and thermal resistance. The phosphorus-deoxidized copper alloy is suitable for applications with brazing and welding. Copper C12000, which is produced according to ASTM B152 standards, provides excellent consistency and workability for plumbing, HVAC systems, and industrial fluid systems.
Copper C12000 has approximately 99.9% copper and traces of phosphorus to be used as a deoxidizer. The alloy provides a tensile strength of 215–275 MPa and excellent corrosion resistance in reducing and mildly oxidizing atmospheres. The thermal and electrical conductivity of the alloy is less compared to pure copper but very high in general. The alloy is resistant to embrittlement on welding and is best suited for joining processes.

Yes, Copper C12000 Bars and Rods can be easily recycled. Copper retains its properties after recycling, making it an environmentally friendly and sustainable material for repeated use in various industries.
Copper C12000 Bars and Rods are naturally resistant to corrosion due to their high purity. However, in aggressive environments, protective coatings may be applied to enhance their durability and performance.
Yes, Copper C12000 Bars and Rods can be welded using various methods like TIG and MIG welding. Their excellent weldability makes them suitable for electrical and industrial applications.
Copper C12000 Bars and Rods are applied in most air conditioning systems, plumbing, heat exchangers, and industrial piping. They also apply to brazed parts, vacuum devices, and marine fittings by virtue of their corrosion resistance and hydrogen embrittlement resistance. The rods find frequent application where clean, tight fits and chemical exposure resistance are needed, including power plants and petrochemical equipment.
