Copper and Copper Products like Copper Enamelling, Copper Flats & Tubes, Copper Wire Drawing, Copper Powder, Copper Ingot, Copper Sulfate, Copper Plating, Copper Foils, Copper Cable, Copper Ash and allied

It needs to be well noted and understood that copper is a kind of a chemical element with atomic number 29. It is a ductile, malleable and soft metal with very high electrical and thermal conductivity. When copper is freshly exposed, it is known to have pinkish-orange color. This chemical element is often used as a conductor of heat and electricity, constituent of various metal alloys, as a building material and much more. It is known that cupronickel is used to make marine coins and hardware in thermocouples as well as strain gauges for measurement of temperature. This is one of the few metals occurring in nature in metallic form (as native metal). 

The process of copper enamelling is well known which refers to glass fused to metal in conditions of excessive heat. Copper tubes are most often used for heating systems and also as a refrigerant in HVAC systems. It needs to be well noted that copper tubing is being replaced by PEX tubing in cold as well as hot water applications. The two types of copper tubing include rigid copper as well as soft copper. This kind of tubing is joined using solder, pressed connection, flare connection as well as compression connection. This metal is known to to offer high corrosion level resistance and is becoming very costly. 

Copper wire drawing process is quite a simple concept. This is prepared by shrinking the beginning of it, rolling, swagging as well as hammering. This allows it to fit through the die when it is pushed through the die. The fine copper wires are usually drawn in bundles. The process relates to the following processes: 

- Pointing the rod

- Threading the poited end through a die

- End is attached to a drawing block . 

- Block revolved by an electric motor which in turn pulls the lubricated end through the die (increasing in length and reducing in diameter).

It needs to be ell noted that pure copper powder is used in the electronic and electrical industry because of its excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. It is very well alloyed with nickel, zinc and tin and few other elements. The powdered form of copper is used as a friction material in structural parts. 

Copper Ingot is made by smelting copper ore in the furnace. This is usually used as a craft soft metal in the Forge or Smithy. This is usually cast into a shape to facilitate transportation as well as processing. The shape of ingot is usually rectangular and this allows it to be stacked. 

Copper Sulfate is a kind of an inorganic compound that combines copper with sulphur. This is then used to kill fungi, bacteria, plants, snails, algae and roots. The copper sulphate toxicity depends on the content of copper in it. Copper Plating refers to the process of plating a layer of copper on the surface of an item electrolytically. 

Copper Cable refers to group of two or more wires which are bundled together in a single jacket or sheath. Thus, we have successfully been able to understand copper and few of the copper products.
