What is Copper

Copper is a naturally occurring non-ferrous metal that has had a wide range of applications throughout history. 

This is due to its ease of stretching, high electrical and thermal conductivity, and of course its aesthetic appeal, 

as it takes on a greenish sheen when exposed to air.

Properties of Copper

Copper is highly resistant to abrasion. It has high strength, high hardness and strong chemical resistance. 

The mechanical properties for cutting operations are also outstanding. 

It can be used for a variety of deep-drawn and bent parts, such as pins, rivets, washers, nuts, pipes, air pressure gauges, screens,

 radiator parts, and so on. With good mechanical properties, good plasticity in hot state, good plasticity in hot state.

 Cold state, good cutting processability, easy brazing and welding, corrosion resistance. It is a widely used material.

Classification of Copper

According to the classification of copper form can be divided into 

copper plate, copper tube, copper strip, copper rod, copper profile and enamelled copper wire.

According to the type of copper can be divided into

1000 series (C10100, C10200, C10300, etc.),

2000 series (C21000, C23000, C26000, etc.),

3000 series (C33000, C33200, C37000, etc.),

4000 Series (C44300, C44400, C44500, etc.),

6000 Series (C60800, C63020, C65500, etc.),

7000 Series (C70400, C70620, C71000, etc.),

etc.

Copper Applications

Copper has been used for thousands of years to make tools, pipes and decorative elements. 

Today, its use is still in high demand in many industries, especially in electrical applications.

Although sheet metal is produced using a variety of metals, including aluminium, brass, stainless steel and titanium, 

copper is the preferred sheet metal for specific applications. These applications rely on the metal's high electrical conductivity.

As a result, copper sheet is popular in the electrical and construction industries. 

In addition to its historic use in plumbing and decorative applications, copper is used in wiring, electric motors, 

hospital equipment and industrial machinery.
