Product type
Cathodes are a primary form of copper used in various industrial applications. They are produced through the electrolysis of copper ore or scrap, resulting in high-purity copper that is essential for electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. Typically, cathodes are rectangular plates that weigh around 125 kg each and have a purity of 99.99%.
| Purity | 99.99% copper |
| Standard dimensions | 1m x 1m x 0.02m |
| Weight per cathode | Approx. 125 kg |
| Production method | Electrolytic refining |
| Melting point | 1085 °C |
When selecting copper cathodes, buyers should consider the required purity level, as well as any specific industry standards or certifications needed for their application. It's also important to specify the quantity required, as this can affect pricing and availability. Additionally, buyers may want to inquire about the production method to ensure it meets their quality expectations.
