Default Online Vendors?

I've been trying to find vendors for the better AL & CU alloys in bar stock.

Aluminum in 1199-H18 (240 W/m-K) or 1199-O (243 W/m-K)

and

Copper in the Oxygen-free high conductivity types, C102 ,etc... 391-392 W/m-K


Searching now, but if anyone already knows any, it would help

Nope, those places carry the poorer grades.

look for an electrical contracting company close to you, they usually have what's called "bus-bar" in all shapes and thicknesses.... i'm not 100% on it, but I think that is the good stuff, better than what can be had through a metals shop...

Cu: 99.9%, O: 0.04%. This is a bad thing? I'm going to be building my own block soon and didn't even think of this.

Did a google search on copper bus bar, found a few places but theyr'e both "call for info"

I'll try to find local vendor next week.

Frag, that copper looks to be good(without a chart at hand..). The C11000 stuff & similar is the one I'm looking for. All are the high conductivity/ oxy free types.

He, he #Rotor, you buy copper by meter
Here in Slovenia there is a company where I can get Cu/Al precutted to whatever I want from standard bars which are in almost all dimensions, and the place is only 6km away so I'm pretty regular there
