Brian Fasteners, with its base in Houston, USA, is a prominent producer and distributor of general copper rods and bars. With rich experience in fabrication and metallurgy of copper, the company caters to varied industrial needs through a wide range of products. Utilizing precision casting, rolling, and finishing machines, Brian Fasteners maintains consistent quality, tight tolerance, and superior surface finish. Supplying markets like electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and construction, the firm is known to provide reactive customer service, flexible production, and competitive pricing. Brian Fasteners has a reputation for a consistent supply of quality copper bars and rods specific to both common and bespoke applications within the American market.
Typical standard copper bars and rods supplied by Brian Fasteners are usually electrolytic or oxygen-free grades with ≥99.9% copper content. Oxygen content is different according to the grade: electrolytic copper (≤0.04% O₂) and oxygen-free types (<0.001%). Electrical conductivity is usually 95–101% IACS. Tensile strength is between 200 to 260 MPa, yield strength 70–100 MPa, and elongation 25–40% depending on grade and heat treatment. The accurate balance of ductility, conductivity, purity, and mechanical strength is attained by controlled annealing, rolling, and smelting processes, providing consistent performance in common copper applications.
