Common C14500 Tellurium Copper Specifications & Heat Treatment / Temper
| Material | C14500 Tellurium Copper |
|---|---|
| Common rod/bar standard | ASTM B301/B301M for free-cutting tellurium copper C14500 rods, bars and shapes. |
| Supplied condition / heat treatment | C14500 is commonly supplied in specified annealed or cold-worked tempers; it is not standard quench-and-temper steel. |
| Precision ground rod inquiry | Provide final OD and explicit tolerance limits, supplied temper, bar length, quantity, finish and required documentation. |
Confirm conductivity, tellurium copper chemistry and temper for electrical or machined contacts.
Reference standards and supplied tempers require confirmation by supplier and product form. No automatic in-house heat-treat capability, stock or material certification is implied by this guide.
FREE-MACHINING TELLURIUM COPPER / PRECISION ROD & ROUND BAR BUYING GUIDE
C14500 retains copper-rich characteristics while enhancing machinability through tellurium additions.
C14500 Tellurium Copper Material Specification
UNS C14500; confirm product standard and any conductivity requirement. This should be paired with the final diameter, length, quantity and finish requirements when requesting a precision rod quote. A UNS/AA grade alone does not establish the delivered form or a special finishing process.
Available Condition and Processing Route
Specify temper and electrical/mechanical acceptance if critical.
For aluminum and copper-based alloys, turning, drawing, rolling, burnishing, polishing or other finishing methods may be more suitable than centerless grinding for a particular tolerance and surface. We confirm the process by material and order rather than advertising a universal grinder capability.
Potential C14500 Tellurium Copper Applications
Machined electrical connectors, terminals and conductive fittings.
These are general purchasing/application examples. Every use, especially electrical, aerospace or regulated fluid systems, requires specific engineering and material certification review.
C14500 Tellurium Copper Centerless Ground & TG&P Bar Options
C14500 Tellurium Copper Centerless Ground Bar
For C14500 Tellurium Copper centerless ground rod or bar, tellurium copper has machinability-related properties; verify the grade and conductivity/temper requirement before grinding. Learn about centerless grinding services and final OD planning.
C14500 Tellurium Copper TG&P / Turned, Ground & Polished
For C14500 Tellurium Copper TG&P (TGP) or turned, ground and polished bar, TG&P processing for C14500 should be evaluated for its delivered temper and functional surface condition. Review rod sourcing and polishing options.
Centerless-ground rods are not automatically TG&P. Confirm the exact bar grade and condition, finished diameter and limits, straightness, finish, length, processing route and stock availability before ordering. Request pricing →
Technical and Compliance Checks
Do not substitute C11000 or generic brass without checking conductivity, chemistry and customer restrictions.
Information to Provide with Your RFQ
- Material identity: AA/UNS designation, standard, exact temper or supplied condition.
- Dimensions: finished outside diameter, upper and lower tolerance, full/cut lengths and quantity.
- Acceptance criteria: straightness, roundness and surface roughness when specified, with inspection methods.
- Application-specific: conductivity, corrosion or compliance requirements and certs when applicable.
- Scheduling: volume, shipping destination, packaging and requested delivery date.
Confirm Supply and Precision Finishing
Precision Ground Rods coordinates sourcing and finishing inquiries on a quotation basis. We evaluate rod sourcing, compatible finishing, cut-to-length and handling requirements for each job. Soft-metal grades are not automatically in stock as ground rods, and achievable dimensions depend on the selected processing route.
