Copper part cutting
Mainly used for industrial applications, copper has excellent conductive properties. Its main drawback is its low mechanical strength, it is easily deformable, this material can be complicated to machine, especially because of its long chip management.
Thanks to its specific know-how and adapted equipment, INODEC masters copper machining and offers you the production of copper parts for all sectors and applications.

Application sectors of copper parts
- Electrical and electronic components: copper parts are found in connectors, terminals, electrical contacts and other electrical components
- Cooling parts: cooling components such as heat sinks for electronic and computer applications.
- Industrial equipment components: Copper is used to manufacture industrial equipment parts such as gears, bearings and bushings because of its mechanical strength and wear resistance.
- Automotive industry components: automotive components in copper are for instance gaskets, bushings, washers and transmission elements
- Electronic components: Copper is used to manufacture electronic components such as electromagnetic shields and interconnect parts due to its electrical conductivity and shielding properties.
Copper parts additional treatment operations
In order to ensure performance and lifetime, and also to optimize its qualities, copper must sometimes be subjected to specific treatments (chemical or thermal).
Depending on your project, we advise you and guide you in the choice of the right alloys.
