COPPER

Copper is a chemical element with atomic number 29, atomic weight 63.54, density 8.96 and symbol Cu. Copper is a metal with a red and brown appearance. It is malleable, ductile and conducts both heat and electricity extremely well.

Also casting and welding ability is not good. But it can be cold formed. Copper alloys are materials made by combining copper with one or more other metals or elements. Copper alloys are used in a variety of applications, including electrical components, plumbing, and decorative items because of their unique properties that may differ from those of pure copper.

Usage areas

Copper and copper alloys are some of the most versatile engineering materials available. The combination of physical properties such as strength, conductivity, corrosion resistance, machinability and ductility make copper suitable for a wide variety of applications. These properties can be further enhanced by changes in composition and production methods.

Electrical Installation

It is often used to transmit electrical energy in homes, buildings and other structures.

Electrical Components

Copper is also used in the construction of various electrical components such as transformers, motors, generators and switchgear. Its high conductivity and ability to withstand high temperatures make it ideal for use in such components.

Plumbing

It is often used to make pipes, fittings and other components of plumbing systems.

Industrial Machines

Copper is used in the construction of various industrial machinery such as pumps, compressors and heat exchangers due to its high thermal conductivity and ability to withstand high temperatures.

Decorative Items

Copper is also used to make decorative items such as jewelry, sculptures and works of art because of its attractive appearance and ability to be easily shaped and molded.
