CNC manufacturing with Oxygen-free high thermal conductivity (OFHC) copper
OFHC copper is widely used in cryogenics. OFHC is produced under carefully controlled conditions to prevent contamination of the pure oxygen-free metal during processing.
These characteristics are high ductility, high electrical and thermal conductivity, high impact strength, good creep resistance, ease of welding, and low relative volatility under high vacuum.
CNC manufacturing with OFHC copper offers several advantages:
High Precision
CNC machines can produce components with extremely tight tolerances, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
Complex Geometries
CNC machining can create intricate shapes and features that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with other manufacturing methods.
Efficiency
CNC machining can automate many manufacturing processes, improving efficiency and reducing costs.
Material Compatibility
OFHC copper’s unique properties make it well-suited for cryogenic applications, ensuring the long-term durability and performance of the components.
