Short answer: Copper rod and bar are sold by grade and conductivity — C11000 (ETP) and oxygen-free C10200 give full ≥100% IACS for busbar and electrical duty, tellurium C14500 machines cleanly, and chrome-zirconium C18150 keeps conductivity under resistance-welding heat.
At a Glance
Copper Rod Grades
Electrolytic-tough-pitch C11000 (ETP) is the busbar and forging default at ≥100% IACS; oxygen-free C10200 is used where welding or hydrogen atmospheres forbid oxygen. The copper families are set out in Copper Alloys Guide and the C11000-vs-C12200 split in Copper C11000 Vs C12200. Conductivity is the property behind Busbar Copper Vs Aluminum en Copper Vs Aluminum Wire.
Machining & Forming
Pure copper is gummy to machine, so tellurium (C14500) and leaded grades are specified for automatic screw machines; chrome-zirconium (C18150) holds strength and conductivity in resistance-welding electrodes. We source rod from our Copper Supplier line alongside Copper Sheet Guide, and size busbar with the ampacity logic in Busbar Copper Vs Aluminum.
Applications & Quality
Copper rod serves busbar, earthing, switchgear, forging stock, welding tips and plumbing (DHP C12200). Every lot ships with conductivity and chemistry checks and mill documentation per Mill Test Certificate Guide, packed for export.

Veelgestelde vragen
C11000 (ETP) is the standard high-conductivity copper; C10200 is oxygen-free for welding and hydrogen atmospheres where oxygen could cause embrittlement.
Tellurium copper C14500 machines cleanly like free-cutting brass while keeping about 90% IACS conductivity, ideal for automatic screw machines.
ETP and OF copper reach ≥100% IACS; alloyed grades such as C14500 and C18150 are around 80-90% IACS but gain machinability or heat resistance.
Yes. C11000 rod and bar are extruded or cut into busbar for switchgear and earthing; sizing follows the ampacity comparison in our busbar guide.
Yes. HXSCO supplies C11000, C10200, C14500 and C18150 rod and bar with conductivity and mill certificates on request.
