I'm wondering if anyone knows of a source for copper hexagonal rod, sizes under 1/4". While I'm asking for unobtanium, I need it in oxygen free, preferably electronic grade. Can't find any with my usual sources and googling it doesn't get me very far.
Check with BMG Metals -
Says brass, but also says its 99.9% copper:

He's wanting some under 1/4". Seems these sources start at about 1/4" and go up
- at least the first two. At least one mentioned "machinable" and "hard drawn" which is probably what he is looking for. Some electrical wire, especially bare copper, is hard drawn. Perhaps he needs to check with a wire manufacturer. If he needs enough of it they could produce it for him. It might be as simple as extruding it through a hex opening.

it. =A0If not they
I called, thinking: what did I have to lose? They pointed me to someone else, who said that in any copper alloy nobody made anything below 1/4" unless I wanted to have a run made, with a 2000 pound minimum order. This is a possibility to solve a research problem that I might propose, but wanted to make sure it was a possibility first. Move on to another idea, I suppose. I only need a little bit to try the idea.
Thanks to all of you for your time; it's much appreciated.
