Copper (Wires/SHEETS)
Copper is one of the most critical industrial metals due to its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, malleability, corrosion resistance, and antimicrobial properties. Here’s a comprehensive look at its industrial uses:
Electrical and Electronics Industry:
This is the largest sector for copper usage:
- Wiring and Cables: Used in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical systems.
- Motors and Transformers: Essential for windings due to high conductivity.
- Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs): Copper layers form conductive paths.
- Connectors and Terminals: For electrical contacts and grounding.
- Renewable Energy: Key in wind turbines, solar panels, and electric vehicle (EV) systems.
Construction Industry:
Copper is widely used in building infrastructure:
- Plumbing Pipes and Fittings: Corrosion-resistant and long-lasting.
- Roofing and Cladding: Used for aesthetic and durable weather-resistant surfaces.
- HVAC Systems: Coils and tubing for heat exchange in air conditioners and refrigerators.
- Fire Sprinkler Systems: Durable and reliable under high temperatures.
Transportation Industry:
Copper is used in all major types of vehicles and transport systems:
- Automobiles: Wiring harnesses, radiators, motors (especially in EVs).
- Railways: Power lines and motors in electric trains.
- Aerospace: Wiring systems and high-strength alloys for structural parts.
- Marine: Antifouling copper alloys for ship hulls and underwater components.
Industrial Machinery & Equipment:
- Heat Exchangers: Copper tubing and fins for effective thermal transfer.
- Bearings and Bushings: Copper alloys like bronze for high wear resistance.
- Industrial Furnaces: Copper components due to high melting point and heat tolerance.
