Annealed Copper Sheet

These products made from copper and copper alloys may be heat treated for several purposes such as homogenizing annealing stress relieving and precipitation hardening.

Annealed copper sheet.

Typically non annealed copper head gaskets are harder to bend thus causing leaks if you install them as is. When you anneal copper it expands and becomes soft and pliable thus giving you a seal once the copper has been compressed. Top annealed bottom non annealed. This is very thin copper foil.

You can tear. Common applications for annealed metals include. Metal wire that has been drawn from one size to a smaller size may also undergo an annealing process. Certificate of conformance provided upon request other alloys and tempers available upon request.

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. You may want to soften copper so you can bend it without crushing it or distorting its shape. You can anneal any grade and thickness of copper as long as you have a flame that can transmit enough heat to the metal.

Work hardened materials such as sheet metal that has undergone a stamping process or cold drawn bar stock. 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. It is approximately 1 5 times thicker than typical household aluminum foil and is easy to cut but also easy to wrinkle. Copper is a bendable flexible metallic element that s normally reddish brown in color.

The copper most commonly used for sheet and strip applications complies with astm b370. Triumph 650 copper head gaskets. They consist of wire and cable sheet strip plate rod bars tubing forgings castings and powder metallurgy shapes. Annealing copper makes it softer and less brittle which allows you to bend it without breaking it.

In metallurgy and materials science annealing is a heat treatment that alters the physical and sometimes chemical properties of a material to increase its ductility and reduce its hardness making it more workable it involves heating a material above its recrystallization temperature maintaining a suitable temperature for an appropriate amount of time and then cooling. On the other hand copper can be softened even more than it naturally is. It consists of 99 9 percent copper and is available in six tempers designated by astm b370 as. 060 soft h00 cold rolled h01 cold rolled high yield h02 half hard h03 three quarter hard and h04 hard.
