8 mm rod; available as cathode (ETP) or scrap-based (FRHC) grade — wiring and electronics applications.
This size is available as electrolytic cathode copper wire rod (ETP) from refined cathode, or as FRHC rod from selected and refined copper scrap. Please specify the grade you require when ordering.
8 mm is one of the most widely used diameters in the wire and cable industry, balancing drawing speed, energy use and surface quality.
ETP grade offers higher purity via up-cast; FRHC grade optimises raw material cost from refined scrap — both supplied as continuous wax-coated coils on industrial pallets.
| Diameter | 8 mm |
|---|---|
| Cathode grade (ETP) | Conductivity ≥ 101% IACS — tensile 225–235 N/mm² — elongation ≥ 38% |
| Scrap grade (FRHC) | Conductivity ≥ 100% IACS — tensile 220–250 N/mm² — elongation ≥ 36% — Cu+Ag ≥ 99.92% |
Aria Copper and Cable Industries Co.’s technical team will recommend the best option based on the product type, diameter and packaging you require.
