Decoration ASTM T2 C11000 C10200 Copper Plate Or Brass Copper Alloy Sheet For Building Materials

Q1: What is the difference between C11000 and C10200 copper for architectural use?
A1: For most architectural and decorative applications, the performance difference is minimal. C10200 (Oxygen-Free Copper) has a slightly higher purity and is often chosen for its superior forming characteristics. C11000 (Electrolytic Tough Pitch Copper) is the most widely used copper grade, known for its excellent conductivity and balance of strength and ductility. Both are excellent choices, and selection often depends on specific project requirements and availability.
Q2: Can the copper plate be prevented from changing color (developing a patina)?
A2: Yes. The natural patina process can be slowed or prevented. We offer surface treatments such as clear lacquering or wax coating that can be applied to seal the surface and maintain the original "new" copper look. Please inquire about our protective surface finishing options.
Q3: Do you offer custom cutting and surface finishing?
A3: Absolutely. We specialize in OEM services. We can precision-cut the plates to your exact dimensions and provide a wide range of surface finishes, including Mirror, Brush, Hair Line, and more. We also offer secondary processing like perforation, bending, and welding.
Q4: What certifications do you provide with the material?
A4: We provide a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) with every shipment, which verifies the chemical composition and mechanical properties. We are also certified under ISO9001 and can arrange for third-party inspections from SGS or others upon request.
Q5: What are the standard sheet sizes you have in stock?
A5: We commonly stock thicknesses from 1.0mm to 10mm. A frequent stock size is 1000mm wide x 2000mm long. However, our production capacity allows for custom orders in virtually any size within the specified range (Width up to 2500mm, Length up to 12000mm).
