VT machining offers CNC Routing for C145 Tellurium Copper (UNS C14500 / CuTeP), typically supplied H02 half-hard. Tellurium makes copper free-machining while keeping ~93% IACS conductivity.
CNC Routing Notes for C145 Tellurium Copper
C145 Tellurium Copper routes well at high feed, which makes routing an economical way to profile sheet and plate.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of C145 Tellurium Copper weighs about 0.89 kg.
