Soft Annealed Copper Sheet

Annealing copper makes it softer and less brittle which allows you to bend it without breaking it.

Soft annealed copper sheet.

Types of copper and properties the copper most commonly used for sheet and strip applications complies with astm b370. K s precision metals 6020 soft annealed copper foil 0 005 copper 36 gauge 12 width x 30 length 1 pc made in usa by k s 4 7 out of 5 stars 34 ratings available at a lower price from other sellers that may not offer free prime shipping. 1 mil 001 inches thick. All of our raw copper sheets are pure copper annealed dead soft with a smooth commercial finish manufactured to astm b152 alloy c110.

This malleability allows you to hammer and mold the copper into any shape you wish without cracking the metal. Certificate of conformance provided upon request other alloys and tempers available upon request. For copper and brass alloy the physical process is different and the soft annealing temperature is between 300 c and 650 c for copper alloys and between 425 c and 650 c for brass alloys. But don t delay the quenching too much otherwise you will not achieve the annealed copper you were aiming for.

You can tear. They have a bare smooth commercial finish are annealed soft malleable annealed copper is much more pliable and workable than non annealed copper and manufactured to astm b152. You can anneal any grade and thickness of copper as long as you have a flame that can transmit enough heat to the metal. It is approximately 1 5 times thicker than typical household aluminum foil and is easy to cut but also easy to wrinkle.

This is very thin copper foil. These sheets are pure copper c110 99 9 pure copper.

Heat the copper with the propane torch by slowly moving the flame across it. 0216 copper in 4 x 10 sheets also sold as copper flashing these non annealed hard copper 4 x 10 sheets are shipped in a special rigid package to ensure each sheet arrives flat and in excellent condition.

By delaying you are normalizing the copper which means it is not soft enough to become pliable and can easily fracture if bent too rigorously.
