Copper Cathode

Copper Cathode 

• Composition Copper cathode is a pure form of copper metal with a minimum purity of 9995 to 9999
• Physical Appearance Copper cathodes are typically flat rectangularshaped plates with a smooth surface and uniform thickness
• Grade The copper cathodes grade is classified based on its purity level which is commonly referred to as Electrolytic Tough Pitch ETP grade copper
• Dimensions Copper cathodes come in various dimensions and sizes with common dimensions around 914mm x 914mm and thickness ranging from 10mm to 20mm
• Weight The weight of a single copper cathode can range from around 50 kilograms to over 100 kilograms depending on the size and thickness
• Manufacturing Process Copper cathodes are produced through the electrorefining process where copper ore is refined electrolytically to obtain highpurity copper metal
• Purity Verification Copper cathodes are assayed and tested to verify their purity level ensuring compliance with international standards
• Applications Copper cathodes are used as a raw material in various industries including electrical and electronic equipment manufacturing construction and transportation
• Electrical Conductivity Copper is known for its excellent electrical conductivity making copper cathodes valuable for electrical applications such as wiring and conductors
• Thermal Conductivity Copper also exhibits high thermal conductivity making it suitable for heat exchangers and cooling systems
• Corrosion Resistance Copper cathodes have good resistance to corrosion making them durable and suitable for outdoor applications
• Recyclability Copper is highly recyclable and copper cathodes can be reprocessed and reused to produce new copper products
• Packaging Copper cathodes are typically packed and transported in bundles or on wooden pallets protected to prevent damage during transit
• Quality Standards Copper cathodes should meet international standards such as ASTM B115 EN 1978 and BS EN 1978 to ensure their quality and purity
• Markings Copper cathodes usually have specific markings indicating the manufacturer grade weight and other relevant information for identification and traceability
• Environmental Impact Copper is a valuable and environmentally friendly metal and the production of copper cathodes involves efficient use of resources and responsible waste management
• Safety Precautions Handling copper cathodes should follow safety guidelines to prevent injuries or damage during transportation and storage
• Storage Copper cathodes should be stored in a dry and clean environment to avoid contamination and maintain their quality
