    C101 Electrolytic Tough Pitch Copper

    Uploaded by

    MADDI MADHAV.
    Electrolytic Tough Pitch Copper (ETP) C101 / CW004A is a commercially pure, high conductivity grade of copper that is refined through electrolytic deposition and melting. It has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, workability, and aesthetic properties. C101 / CW004A is widely used for electrical applications like busbars, motor/transformer components, and windings due to its combination of properties. It can develop a weathered green patina over time that further improves corrosion resistance. However, its susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement in some conditions limits its use in elevated temperature environments.

    Electrolytic Tough Pitch Copper (ETP) C101 / CW004A is a commercially pure high

    conductivity grade of copper refined by electrolytic deposition which is then melted and
    oxidised to the “tough pitch” condition with a controlled low oxygen content. This is the
    most widely used of all the coppers because of its combination of electrical and thermal
    conductivity, corrosion resistance, workability and aesthetic beauty.

    C101 / CW004A is the normal grade for general electrical use as busbar, motor and
    transformer components, windings and many other current carrying applications. It is
    also very popular with architects for applications where the corrosion resistance is
    required for building applications. Over time the C101 will also develop the weathered
    copper, green patina, appearance that offers additional corrosion resistance and a
    desirable look.

    The use of this alloy in elevated temperature environments can be limited due to oxygen
    being present in the form of Cu2O. This can cause the alloy to be susceptible to hydrogen
    embrittlement in reducing gasses or when welding or brazing using an oxy-fuel gas
    flame.
