What is T2 Copper Bar?

What is T2 Copper Bar

T2 Copper Bar, also known as ETP (Electrolytic Tough Pitch) Copper Bar, equivalent to ASTM C11000, is the most widely used high conductivity copper busbar material for electrical power transmission.

T2 copper features a minimum copper purity of 99.90% with low impurity levels. It delivers electrical conductivity ≥98% IACS, which makes it ideal for manufacturing custom size copper busbar. This copper bar exhibits great ductility, easy bending, punching, drilling and welding properties.

For buyers, choosing T2 copper bar is not only about the copper grade. Dimensions, electrical conductivity, temper, surface condition and the requirements of the finished component also need to match the application. HSMetal supplies T2 copper bar in custom sizes to help customers obtain the right material for their specific electrical and fabrication requirements.

T2 Copper Bar vs C11000: Are They the Same?

 

For international purchasing, T2 copper is commonly compared with C11000 ETP copper. C11000 is the UNS designation, while T2 is used in Chinese material standards. However, buyers should confirm the applicable standard and certificate requirements before treating one designation as a direct substitute.

Material Common Designation Main Consideration
T2 Copper China / GB Suitable when T2 is specified
C11000 ASTM / UNS Common international ETP copper designation
Cu-ETP / CW004A EN European ETP copper designation
C1100 JIS Japanese copper designation
C10100 / C10200 ASTM / UNS Oxygen-free copper grades for applications requiring different oxygen specifications

For a critical project, confirm chemical composition, conductivity, dimensions, temper and applicable product standard before approving material substitution.

 

T2 Copper Bar or Other Copper Grade?

 

The right copper is determined by the application-not simply by choosing the highest-purity material.

Material Main Advantage Consider It When
T2 Copper High conductivity and general-purpose performance Standard electrical and industrial applications
C11000 ETP Copper High conductivity + good workability ASTM-based electrical applications
C10100 / C10200 OFHC Copper Controlled low-oxygen material Oxygen-sensitive, vacuum or specialized high-temperature applications
Brass Higher strength and good machinability When mechanical strength is more important than maximum conductivity

 

If your application involves busbars, switchgear or power distribution, T2/C11000 is often a practical starting point. If your process involves special welding, brazing, vacuum or reducing-atmosphere conditions, a different copper grade may be more appropriate.

 

T2 Copper Bar Applications
