Premium Copper Rod & Round Bar
Versatile Grades (C101 – C187) | Precision Turned & Cut to Size
Power your projects with the structural integrity and electrical efficiency of Maverick Metals’ Copper Rod and Round Bar. While flat busbar is optimized for surface area, our round bar and rod products are engineered to maximize material strength, flexibility, and machinability without sacrificing conductivity.
From high-speed machining applications to critical grounding infrastructure, we supply a comprehensive range of copper grades to meet the specific mechanical and electrical demands of your industry.

Strength, Machinability, and Conductivity
Copper rod is the preferred form factor when components require complex machining or must withstand mechanical stress while conducting electricity.
Conductive Efficiency: Despite the focus on strength, our ETP (Electrolytic Tough Pitch) and Oxygen-Free grades maintain exceptional IACS ratings for efficient power transmission.
Superior Machinability: Grades like C145 and C187 are specifically engineered for free-machining, allowing for high-speed production of intricate parts like connectors and fasteners.
Structural Versatility: The cylindrical profile offers uniform strength, making it ideal for axles, shafts, and structural electrical components.
Copper Rod Grades
C10100 / C10200 – 99.99% pure, highest conductivity, immunity to hydrogen embrittlement.
•
C11000 (ETP) – The industry standard for electrical conductivity and ductility.
•
C14500 (Tellurium) – High conductivity (90% IACS) with excellent machinability rating (85).
•
C14700 (Sulfur) – Sulfur-bearing copper offering good machinability without tellurium.
•
C17200 (Beryllium) – The highest strength of any copper alloy; excellent fatigue resistance.
•
C18700 (Leaded) – Lead-bearing copper for high machinability and medium conductivity.
•
