Copper is a very ductile and malleable metal, and it is much more durable than iron. Moreover, it is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. However, its conductivity significantly decreases in the presence of impurities, which also increase its hardness.
Applications for copper and its alloys are multiple, spanning fields from electricity to agriculture, and from hydraulic systems and piping to transportation.
Our service center can provide different types, thicknesses, and widths to meet customer needs and requests.
Copper Types:
ETP (Electrolytic Tough Pitch): Oxygen-containing copper with extremely high electrical and thermal conductivity. Common applications include electrical conductors, industrial radiators, and construction (roofing, gutters, and so on).
DHP (Deoxidized High residual Phosphorus): Oxygen-free copper containing phosphorus to ensure deoxidation (Phosphorus content between 0.015% and 0.04%). The presence of phosphorus, however, reduces electrical conductivity. It is used in architecture (roofing), hydraulics (air conditioners, flexible tubes, heat exchangers, etc.).
