Copper Sheet
Copper provides high electrical and thermal conductivity with good ductility for stamping, bending and forming. It is commonly used in conductive and heat-transfer sheet metal components. Its surface oxidizes and discolors, so anti-tarnish treatments, tin plating or nickel plating may be specified for protection, solderability and appearance. The relatively soft material requires care to prevent scratches and deformation during fabrication and assembly.
Typical Applications
Heat spreaders and thermal covers, electrical connections and grounding tabs, shielding enclosures, busbars, terminals and conductive structures in electrical equipment. Suitable where electrical or thermal conductivity is a defined requirement.
Reference Properties & Manufacturing Parameters
Reference values are indicative and are not guaranteed specifications. Material grade, stock condition, processing, test method and part geometry can change the result. A listed temperature is not a continuous-use rating.
| Dimensional tolerance | ±0.2 mm |
|---|---|
| Minimum wall thickness | 0.5 mm |
| Reference temperature range | ≤300 °C |
| Reference tensile strength | 200–250 MPa |
| Reference density | 8.96 g/cm³ |
- Reference values vary with grade, material condition, part geometry and manufacturing process. Confirm final specifications during drawing review.
- Temperature figures are source reference values; the test method, loading and exposure duration are not specified and must be confirmed for the application.
Finishing Options
Confirm compatibility with the exact material grade and application. Define cosmetic surfaces, coating thickness, masking and any dimensional or performance requirements before manufacture.
Design & Manufacturing Review
- Specify sheet grade, thickness, finish and rolling direction where relevant. Confirm the selected stock before finalizing bend geometry.
- Review bend radii, bend reliefs, hole-to-bend distances and fastener access. Flat patterns must account for the actual forming process.
- Define weld locations, cosmetic surfaces and any coating or masking requirements.
