VT machining offers CNC Bending for C122 Copper (UNS C12200 / DHP / Cu-DHP), typically supplied annealed or H55. Phosphorus-deoxidised; brazes and welds well but lower conductivity (~85% IACS).
CNC Bending Notes for C122 Copper
C122 Copper bends to a tight inside radius (about 1× thickness) in this condition.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of C122 Copper weighs about 0.89 kg.

What surface finish is achievable on C122 Copper with CNC Bending?
Surface finish on C122 Copper is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
Can VT machining make custom C122 Copper parts to my drawing?
Yes. C122 Copper forming is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Bending C122 Copper?
We form C122 Copper sheet and plate to your developed flat pattern and bend sequence.
Why is C122 Copper a good choice for CNC Bending?
C122 Copper is excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, which makes it well suited to CNC Bending. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished C122 Copper forming part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
Does CNC Bending C122 Copper require dedicated tooling?
Most C122 Copper forming work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Bending C122 Copper?
CNC Bending prototypes for C122 Copper can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
