material. These properties make copper
extremely suitable for tube forming, wire
drawing, spinning and deep drawing. The
other key properties exhibited by copper
and its alloys include:
Excellent heat conductivity
Excellent electrical conductivity
Good corrosion resistance
Good biofouling resistance
Good machinability
Retention of mechanical and electrical
properties at cryogenic temperatures
Non-magnetic
Other Properties :
Copper and Copper alloys have a
peculiar smell and disagreeable taste.
These may be transferred by contact
and therefore Copper should be kept
clear of foodstuffs.
Most commercially used metals have a
metallic white colour. Copper is a
