​
Since copper and copper alloy fabricated products have excellent features that other metals lack, they are used in a wider variety of applications.
1. High electric conductivity
Because the electric conductivity of copper and copper alloy fabricated products is extremely high, they are used for components in a wide variety of electrical instruments, such as electric motors, distribution boards, IC lead frames and other various wiring needs.
2. High thermal conductivity
Because of their excellent thermal conductivity, copper and copper alloy fabricated products are used as heat exchangers in the chemical industry, distillation stills, air conditioner heat exchangers, and household bath heaters.
3. Very easy to flatten
Copper and copper alloys are easy to flatten, so they are suitable for rolling, wiredrawing, compound drawing and bending. Therefore, they are used for household products such as bulb caps, vacuum tubes, cosmetics cases, lighters, grommets, hooks. They are also widely used in the construction industry.
4. Good cutting workability
Thanks to the machinability of copper and copper alloys, they are easy to cut and punch precisely, and machine tools last longer than when used on other kinds of metals. Copper and copper alloys are often used for items produced by cutting, such as gears and screws and components of precision gauges and clocks.
5. Good hot forgeability
Brass is used for high pressure bulbs and machine parts since it has especially good hot forgeability and can be easily forged into complex and elaborate shapes. Because grain size becomes more connected after forgetting process.
6. Good elasticity
Since phosphor bronze, nickel-silver and beryllium copper have high spring capacity, they are used as parts for various applications such as communication instruments, precision gauges and electric meters.
7. No low-temperature brittleness
Copper & copper alloy fabricated products do not have any low-temperature brittleness since their strength increases as the temperature decreases.
8. Non-magnetic
One of the most important characteristics of copper and copper alloy fabricated products is that they are non-magnetic. For this reason, they are used in electrical meters and explosion-proof tools.
9. Good corrosion resistance
Copper and copper alloy fabricated products have good corrosion resistance. Therefore, they are used for roofs and rain gutters of buildings. They are also widely used in industrial fields such as condensers for ships, electric power plants and water desalination plants.
10. Beautiful and abundant colors
Copper is reddish brown, brass is Spanish yellow, and nickel-silver is silver. These colors have been popular for a long time, and these materials are used for building construction and various consumer products.
11. Easy to plate and solder
Copper and copper alloy can be easily plated with gold, silver, nickel and chromium, and buffering can make their surface very shiny, so they are used for many household products.
