Copper Wire

Bare copper wire and conductor feedstock sourced by copper grade, diameter and electrical specification.

Copper wire is separated from copper ore, concentrate, cathode and general semi-finished copper. Buyers should state conductor grade, temper, diameter, dimensional tolerance, spool/coil format and intended cable or electrical application.

Bulk supply available upon request. Source and supply available upon request.

Copper Wire procurement guide

Copper wire is separated from copper ore, concentrate, cathode and general semi-finished copper. Buyers should state conductor grade, temper, diameter, dimensional tolerance, spool/coil format and intended cable or electrical application. 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 conductor manufacture, Cable manufacturing, Transformer and winding applications and Industrial electrical components. End use determines which composition, impurity, size, surface or processing parameters are commercially relevant.

Composition and material acceptance

Set the acceptance schedule around Bare copper wire or conductor feedstock, Copper grade and conductivity requirement, Diameter and tolerance, Temper and surface condition and Coil, reel or drum dimensions. 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, Bare copper wire or conductor feedstock, Copper grade and conductivity requirement, Diameter and tolerance, Temper and surface condition and Coil, reel or drum dimensions, quantity and shipment size, packaging or bulk loading basis, destination and Incoterm, sampling/inspection terms and required analysis documents.
