Technical specifications and scope of the EN 12164 standard
The European standard EN 12164 establishes strict requirements for the chemical composition, mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances, and test methodology for copper and copper alloy rods. The product range includes round, square, hexagonal, and octagonal cross-sections manufactured by extrusion or drawing methods. This metal stock is optimized for high-speed automated machining, ensuring dimensional stability and predictable material behavior during turning and milling operations.
EV Group China supplies high-quality copper rods compliant with the EN 12164 standard for the needs of precision engineering, the electrical industry, and the production of hydraulic system components. Quality control at all production stages guarantees full compliance of the products with the stated physical and mechanical characteristics, which is critical for the mass production of complex-configuration parts.
