C12200 Copper Bar is a phosphorus-deoxidized copper material known for its excellent corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity, and reliable fabrication performance. It provides dependable performance in demanding industrial environments while maintaining excellent joining characteristics.
Widely used in piping systems, HVAC equipment, industrial components, and engineering applications requiring corrosion resistance, durability, and long-term service reliability.
C12200 copper bar (UNS C12200 copper rod, DHP high-phosphorus deoxidized copper bar, Cu-DHP bright drawn copper rod, CW024A extruded bar, and solid hexagonal copper rod) is manufactured through continuous extrusion, cold drawing, centerless grinding, and bright protective atmosphere annealing. Engineered for heavy-duty electrical busbars, HVAC manifold blocks, forged plumbing fittings, heat exchanger connectors, and high-precision CNC machined components, C12200 copper bar offers high electrical and thermal conductivity, excellent cold headability, superior brazing weldability, and 100% resistance to high-temperature hydrogen embrittlement.
At XQJ Metal, we operate advanced horizontal continuous casting lines, heavy-duty hydraulic extrusion presses, precision cold drawing benches, optical centerless grinders, and bright annealing furnaces to manufacture premium C12200 copper bar and rod products conforming strictly to global engineering standards, including ASTM B187 (standard specification for copper bus bar, rod, and shapes), ASTM B133, EN 12163 (Cu-DHP / CW024A), JIS H3250 (C1220), and GB/T 4423 (TP2) specifications. We offer full cross-sectional profiles including Round Bars (OD 3mm to 150mm), Square Bars (5mm to 100mm), Hexagonal Bars (Hex 5mm to 80mm), and custom rectangular flat busbars, supplied in straight lengths up to 6 meters or custom cut-to-length blanks.

Q1: What is the main difference between C12200 copper bar and C11000 copper bar for machining and brazing?
A: C12200 is phosphorus deoxidized (Cu-DHP), making it completely immune to hydrogen embrittlement during high-temperature torch brazing and gas welding. While C11000 offers higher electrical conductivity (100% IACS vs 85% IACS), C12200 is superior for components requiring heavy flame brazing or welding.
Q2: Can XQJ Metal supply C12200 hexagonal or square copper bars cut to exact cut lengths?
A: Yes, we produce C12200 copper bars in round, hexagonal, square, and flat shapes, with precision saw-cutting services to supply cut-to-length blanks from 10mm up to 6000mm according to your exact drawing requirements.
