Copper and copper alloys - Cast drawing stock (wire rod)
This European Standard specifies the composition, mechanical, electrical and physical properties for high conductivity copper drawing stock (wire rod) suitable for fabrication into wire by cold drawing, principally for the manufacture of electrical conductors. This European Standard covers drawing stock (wire rod), in nine grades of copper and nine silver-bearing copper grades. Normally, the cross-section is approximately circular, in a range of diameters from 6 mm.
Kupfer und Kupferlegierungen - Vordraht aus Kupfer
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Zusammensetzung, die mechanischen, elektrischen und physikalischen Eigenschaften von hochleitfähigem Vordraht aus Kupfer fest. Der Vordraht wird verwendet zum Drahtziehen, hauptsächlich zur Herstellung von elektrischen Leitern. Diese Europäische Norm umfasst Vordraht aus neun Kupfersorten und neun silberhaltigen Kupfersorten. Der Querschnitt ist in der Regel ungefähr rund mit Durchmessern ab 6 mm.
Cuivre et alliages de cuivre - Fil machine en cuivre
La présente norme européenne spécifie la composition ainsi que les propriétés mécaniques, électriques et
physiques du fil machine en cuivre à haute conductivité destiné à la fabrication du fil étiré à froid,
principalement pour la fabrication des conducteurs électriques. La norme européenne s'applique au fil
machine dans neuf nuances de cuivre et neuf cuivres à l'argent. Normalement, la section droite est
approximativement ronde, dans la plage des diamètres situés au-dessus de 6 mm.
Baker in bakrove zlitine - Polizdelki za bakreno žico
Ta evropski standard določa sestavine, mehanične, električne in fizične značilnosti visokoprevodnih polizdelkov za bakreno žico, primernih za izdelavo žice s postopkom hladnega vlečenja, ki se uporabljajo predvsem za izdelavo električnih vodnikov. Ta evropski standard zajema polizdelke za bakreno žico v devetih razredih bakra in devetih razredih bakra s srebrom. Običajno je prerez približno okrogle oblike s premerom od 6 mm.

Overview
EN 1977:2013 - published by CEN - specifies requirements for high‑conductivity copper drawing stock (wire rod) intended for cold drawing into wire, principally for the manufacture of electrical conductors. The standard covers composition, mechanical, electrical and physical properties for nine copper grades and nine silver‑bearing copper grades. Typical wire‑rod cross‑sections are approximately circular with diameters from about 6 mm. EN 1977:2013 replaces EN 1977:1998 and includes informative Annex A (resistivity/conductivity relationships) and normative Annex B (Rapid Elongation AR‑Test for 8 mm Cu‑ETP1).
Key topics
- Scope and material grades: Defines nine copper and nine silver‑bearing grades (symbols and material numbers), and product designation rules (e.g., Cu‑ETP / CW004A, diameter, nominal coil mass, surface condition: M = as manufactured, CL = cleaned).
- Composition and properties: Specifies chemical composition limits and requirements for mechanical, electrical and physical performance suitable for drawing into wire.
- Mechanical requirements: Includes elongation and tensile testing considerations (referencing EN ISO 6892‑1 for tensile testing).
- Electrical properties: Specifies resistivity and conductivity relationships; Annex A explains resistivity/conductivity conversion and IACS references.
- Processability criteria: Annealability requirements and test methods (including added clarity in 2013 revision).
- Durability tests: Hydrogen embrittlement and scale adhesion tests to ensure reliable cold‑drawing performance.
- Dimensional & surface requirements: Diameter tolerances, surface condition (M/CL), joins and coil mass specification.
- Sampling & test methods: Sampling plans and referenced test methods (EN 12893, ISO 4746, IEC 60468, EN ISO 2626, etc.).
- Documentation & marking: Declaration of conformity and inspection documentation per EN 1655 and EN 10204.
Applications
- Specification for wire rod producers, foundries and rolling mills producing copper stock for drawing.
- Supply and quality standard for wire manufacturers making electrical conductors (power, telecom, winding wire).
- Basis for procurement, QA/QC, material certification and acceptance testing in copper product supply chains.
- Useful for labs performing resistivity, tensile, annealability and embrittlement testing.
Who uses this standard
- Copper producers and mill engineers
- Electrical conductor and cable manufacturers
- Procurement specialists and material engineers
- Quality assurance laboratories and testing houses
- Standards and compliance officers in metal manufacturing
