Copper cathode
Refined copper plates bundled to the named grade and dimensional specification.
Metals & Metal ProductsNon-Ferrous Metals
Copper Metal
Refined copper cathode, rod, sheet and tube sourced separately from ores and finished wire.
Copper Metal covers refined and semi-finished copper forms. Copper ore/concentrate remains on the Copper page, while bare copper wire and conductor feedstock have a dedicated Copper Wire page.
Bulk supply available upon request. Source and supply available upon request.

Copper Metal procurement guide
Copper Metal covers refined and semi-finished copper forms. Copper ore/concentrate remains on the Copper page, while bare copper wire and conductor feedstock have a dedicated Copper Wire page. A useful industrial commodity enquiry defines chemistry or grade, physical form and the process in which the material will be used.
Form and industrial use
The stated applications are Electrical cable and conductor manufacture, Plumbing and heat exchange, Industrial and electronic manufacture and Roofing and architectural. End use determines which composition, impurity, size, surface or processing parameters are commercially relevant.
Composition and material acceptance
Set the acceptance schedule around Commercial form and copper grade, Dimensions and tolerances, Temper or condition, Surface and edge requirements and Mill certificate, quantity and packing. State sampling point, preparation and analytical method, permitted tolerances and whether independent inspection or an umpire process is required.
Unitisation and controlled handling
Confirm lump, powder, concentrate, ingot, sheet or other required form as applicable, then define bags, drums, bundles, containers or bulk loading, unit-weight limits, moisture protection, dust controls, unloading equipment and storage conditions.
Information to include in your quotation request
Send the commodity and form, process use, Commercial form and copper grade, Dimensions and tolerances, Temper or condition, Surface and edge requirements and Mill certificate, quantity and packing, quantity and shipment size, packaging or bulk loading basis, destination and Incoterm, sampling/inspection terms and required analysis documents.
