Copper Cathodes for sale

Copper Cathodes for sale, During the electrolytic refinement of copper, copper is deposited unsupportedly on permanent titanium or stainless steel blank cathode plates to create copper cathodes. The cathode copper is extremely pure as a result of the procedure and three-stage washing of the residuum. Deformed semi-finished products (bars, wire rod) composed of copper and copper alloys are produced using copper cathodes.

The fundamental byproduct of copper production is the cathode. It is created at metal scrap solution in a marketable form for use in high-quality applications. In an electrolytic refining process, pure copper separates from unwrought copper to form a cathode, a 50 to 80 kg square of copper. In the USA, cathodes with a copper concentration of at least 99.99% are produced in around 1.2 million pieces annually.

The production of metal scrap cathodes using ISA Technology complies with the LME Grade A, Cu-CATH-1 (EN 1978), and Copper Cathodes Grade 1 cathode standards (ASTM B115). Each and every metal scrap cathode production facility has received ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification.

Trading Copper Cathodes

The London Metal Exchange and the Comex also register and trade copper cathodes with particular maximum impurity levels. Low impurity levels are a defining characteristic of high-quality copper since even trace concentrations of selenium, bismuth, or antimony in the ppm range can significantly affect conductivity.

In spite of the input materials, the copper cathode brands for metal scrap solutions NA-ESN, HK, OLEN, and PIRDOP are registered on the LME and have a very high level of purity. These cathodes serve as the foundation for our premium copper products.

Product form and packaging of copper cathodes

Double cathode-shaped, bottom-connected cathodes with typical weights of 75 kg and dimensions of 4..6x860mm or 4..6x870mm are produced. leaving out catenary.

Stacks of copper cathodes weighing 1200 to 2000 kg (around 2%) on average are packaged with a spacing section for shipping. Four steel shipping straps are used to encircle the stack. The spacing portion is composed of copper and is of the M00к grade quality since it is a crucial component of the copper cathodes, the final shipping product.
