COPPER

COPPER – PROPERTIES, APPLICATIONS, AND BENEFITS

Copper is one of the most important technical materials and is used in numerous industrial and energy applications due to its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. The material also impresses with its good corrosion resistance, high malleability, and versatile applications.

Copper possesses excellent electrical conductivity and is therefore particularly suitable for applications in electrical engineering, energy technology, and mechanical and plant engineering. Furthermore, copper exhibits very good thermal conductivity and is frequently used in thermal applications and cooling systems.

The material is very easy to machine and is suitable for welding, milling, turning, and cutting. Various copper alloys can further improve its mechanical properties and adapt it to specific technical requirements.
