| Term | Definition |
| Concavity | A concave departure from flat. |
| Concentricity | Conformance to a common center as, for example, the inner and other walls of round tube. |
| Conveyor Marks | Scratches and pits occurring on one side of a sheet as a result of contact with cables or other means of conveyance. |
| Copper | Copper is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Cu and atomic number 29. It is a ductile metal with excellent electrical conductivity, and finds extensive use as an electrical conductor, thermal conductor, as a building material, and as a component of various alloys. See our encyclopedia page on Copper for more information. For Copper Alloys we supply please visit our copper Catalog Page |
| Core Blister | A blister in the core of an alclad or clad product. |
| Corrosion | The deterioration of a metal by chemical or electro-chemical reaction with it's environment. For more information on Corrosion see our Encyclopedia Page on this topic.
|
| CuBe | See: Beryllium Copper |
| Cupronickel | Cupronickel is an alloy of copper, nickel and strengthening impurities, such as iron and manganese. For more information on see our Encyclopedia Page on this topic. For Copper Alloys we supply please visit our copper Catalog Page |
| Die Line | A longitudinal depression or protrusion formed on the surface or drawn or extruded material due to imperfections on the die surface. |
| Diffusion Streak | Surface streaks on an alclad or a clad sheet resulting from alloying constituents diffusing from the core into the coating during thermal treatment. |
| DMS | A prefix for McDonnell Douglas's material specifications |
| DOD | A prefix for the Department of Defense's material specifications. |
| Drawing | The process of pulling material through a die, to reduce the size, change the cross section or shape, or to harden the material. |
| Ductility | Ductility is the physical property of being capable of sustaining large plastic deformations without fracture (in metals, such as being drawn into a wire). It is characterized by the material flowing under shear stress. See our encyclopedia page on Ductility for more information. |
| Earing | A characteristic of sheet to form ears when deep drawn or spun. |
| Eccentricity | Deviation from a common center as, for example, the inner and outer walls of a round tube. The difference between the mean wall thickness and minimum or maximum wall thickness at any one cross section. The permissible degree of eccentricity can be expresssed by a plus and minus wall-thickness tolerance. |
| Electrical conductivity | Electrical conductivity or specific conductivity is a measure of a material's ability to conduct an electric current. When an electrical potential difference is placed across a conductor, its movable charges flow, giving rise to an electric current. The conductivity is defined as the ratio of the current density to the electric field strength. For more information on Electrical conductivity see our Encyclopedia Page on this topic. |
| Elongation | The percentage increase in distance between two gauge marks that results from stressing the specimen in tension to fracture. |
| Equivalent Round | The diameter of a circle having a circumference equal to the outside perimeter of other than round tube. |
| Extrusion | A product formed by pushing material through a die. |
