Chung Metal supplies Copper C11500 Bars and Rods, or arsenical copper, that has been designed with increased corrosion resistance and structural properties. C11500 has a trace of arsenic that enhances its resistance to dezincification and to softening at higher temperatures. It is widely applied in marine, heat exchanger, and condenser services where conductivity and mechanical stability at corrosive conditions are required. Our C11500 rods and bars are made with accuracy and quality control, appropriate for industrial and chemical processing uses.
C11500 contains ~99.5% copper and ~0.3% arsenic. It has a tensile strength of 230–310 MPa and yield strength of 80–120 MPa. Elongation is 30–40%. Conductivity is slightly less than pure copper, at ~75–85% IACS. Arsenic added increases resistance to corrosion, erosion, and stress cracking. Excellent machinability and good weldability.

Yes, Copper C11500 Bars and Rods can be susceptible to galvanic corrosion when in contact with dissimilar metals, especially in the presence of an electrolyte. Proper insulation or coatings can prevent this.
Yes, Copper C11500 Bars and Rods are suitable for hygienic and sanitary applications due to their natural antimicrobial properties. However, regular maintenance and cleaning are essential to maintain hygiene standards.
Copper C11500 Bars and Rods can be used for natural gas applications, offering excellent corrosion resistance and conductivity. However, they may require additional protective coatings in specific environments to prevent corrosion.
C11500 Bars and Rods are well-suited for boiler tubes, heat exchanger components, marine hardware, chemical processing facilities, and hydraulic hoses. Their corrosion resistance to acid and steam qualifies them for high-temperature fluid systems. Arsenical copper is also used in underground piping systems, condensers, distillation equipment, and industrial fluid systems. It works well in situations where water contamination or temperature changes would impair regular copper alloys.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
