Copper is a versatile and widely used engineering material due to its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and malleability. Copper is commonly used in electrical wiring, plumbing systems, heat exchangers, and electronic devices. It is also used in architecture and construction for roofing, gutters, and ornamental features. Copper is available in various forms, including pure copper and copper alloys, such as brass and bronze. Copper alloys provide enhanced properties, including higher strength and improved corrosion resistance. The properties of copper can be further modified through various heat treatment processes. Despite its many advantages, copper has some limitations, such as its susceptibility to oxidation and its relatively high cost compared to other materials.
Copper Alloys
Copper is a versatile metal that can be combined with other elements to create alloys with a range of desirable properties. The primary groups of copper alloys are high copper alloys, brasses, bronzes, copper-nickels, copper-nickel-zinc, leaded copper and specialty alloys. High Copper Alloys These alloys have a copper content of more between 96 and 99%...
