Overview

This European Standard specifies the composition and the mechanical, electrical and physical properties for high conductivity copper drawing stock (wire rod). The drawing stock is used for fabrication into wire by cold drawing, principally for the manufacture of electrical conductors. This standard covers drawing stock (wire rod) in nine grades of copper and nine silver-bearing copper grades. Normally, the cross-section is approximately circular, in a range of diameters from 6 mm. Technical Committee CEN/TC 133 "Copper and copper alloys" is responsible for this European Standard. On the national level the work has been accompanied by Working Committee NA 066-02-01 AA "Hüttenkupfer und Schrotte" ("Unwrought copper products") of FNNE.
