Based in the heart of Hamilton’s industrial sector, Hemi Metals is your trusted local source for high-quality copper products. We take pride in supplying the essential materials that keep New Zealand’s industries moving forward. Our Copper C12000 Bar and Rods are meticulously sourced and ready for local projects, offering a combination of reliability and performance that our customers have depended on for years. For fabricators, engineers, and manufacturers right here in our community, we provide the solid foundation for creating durable and efficient components.
Copper C12000, also known as Electrolytic Tough Pitch copper, is prized for its excellent balance of properties. Its composition is primarily pure copper, with a small amount of oxygen that helps refine the grain structure. This results in strong mechanical characteristics, including high electrical and thermal conductivity. The material offers good ductility and tensile strength, making it tough and malleable enough for both demanding applications and intricate forming processes without sacrificing its essential conductive qualities.
