Copper
Copper provides excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, malleability, and corrosion resistance. Known for its reddish-brown hue, it proves durable and flexible, making it ideal for electrical wiring, plumbing, and architectural applications. Additionally, Cu is easy to shape, solder, and alloy, enhancing its versatility in various industrial sectors.
What Is Copper?
Copper (Cu) is a ductile, reddish-brown metal renowned for its exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity. This element, which naturally forms a protective patina, resists corrosion and enhances durability.
Copper alloys often include elements like zinc (to create brass) and tin (to create bronze), which improve strength and machinability. This versatile material finds extensive use across industries such as electrical, plumbing, construction, and electronics due to its reliability, conductivity, and aesthetic appeal. Its ease of fabrication further adds to its desirability in numerous manufacturing processes.
