Subject: phosphorized copper and thru hole plating

From: mpdickens <md30022@...>
Date: 2004-04-21

I have been attempting to find a cheap source of
phosphorized copper (Deoxified copper) for thru hole
plating. I know that phosphorized copper anodes are
typically around 5% phosphor. I have located copper
welding rods that contain 7% phosphor and 93% copper.
Further, these rods do not contain other additives.

Does anybody know if the extra 2% phosphor will make a
difference when plating?

Regards
