Copper Sheet - Ships next day

Our copper sheet is produced to meet the physical properties detailed in ASTM B 152-97a. The standard length and width of these copper sheets is 36' x 96", but we offer many different sizes for immediate shipment. Most of the copper sold today in the United States is alloy C11000, also known as Electrolytic-Tough-Pitch. Plain and simply, C11000 is 99.9% pure copper. It is an excellent electrical conductor, makes a fine looking kick plate on your front door, does a great job as a back splash in your kitchen, makes a very classy looking rain gutter and adorns some of the finest looking roofs in the world.

The Temper of a metal refers to its hardness. The two extremes of Temper are denoted as “hard” and “soft”. While the Copper Development Association has installed a numbering convention H01(soft) to H04(hard), most people in the industry simply refer to the degree of hardness. “Hey, I’ll take some ‘quarter-hard’ copper sheet,” is really all you have to say to your local copper mill to call out the Temper.

So, why does anybody even worry about Temper? To a large degree, the hardness of the metal determines the application. If you were to make a beautiful pot rack out of soft Temper copper bars and chose to hang your grandmother’s favorite cast iron frying pan on your new creation, the weight of the frying pan could well deform the rack. Bottom line, if your copper sheet project involves supporting any kind of weight, stick to harder Tempers.

On the other hand, if you are interested in making a copper etching or simply forming the copper sheet by hand, you would be much better off with a softer Temper. Softer Tempers are also easier to cut as well. For decorative and craft applications that do not require supporting much weight, soft Temper should be your choice.

The copper sheet we offer is quarter hard. It bends easily but clearly has amble stiffness to hold its' shape. If you need copper sheet which very soft and pliable by, see our soft copper sheet rolls.
