Material Overview
Copper at Noron
Copper is the benchmark for electrical and thermal conductivity. Noron machines precision copper components for waveguides, busbars, heat sinks, electrical contacts, and RF/microwave components. We work with C101 oxygen-free copper, C110 electrolytic tough pitch, and C145 tellurium copper for improved machinability.
