Copper Anode-Slugs are Pure 99.99% and Oxygen-Free Copper. Oxygen-Free Copper Anodes are made specifically for electroplating and melting purposes.
They have a high purity level (99.99% minimum) and are free of grease. Because of their cast crystal structure and even particle size, these anodes are easily dissolved and melted, and their free-flowing material allows ease of handling. Used in Jewelry manufacturing for alloying Gold and Silver.
Copper anode are cut slugs/pieces approximately: 22mm - 7/8" diameter x 25mm - 1" lengths. Each Slug weight approx. 3oz.
Pure copper is extremely difficult to melt and cast as well as being prone to surface cracking, porosity problems, and to the formation of internal cavities. The casting characteristics of copper can be improved by the addition of small amounts of elements including beryllium, silicon, zinc, and silver. In processing Copper, melting – grinding sawing or sanding types of applications use exhaust ventilation and appropriate approved respiratory protection.
