About copper and its property and about Alloys of copper:
Copper: Copper is the most important metal used widely in many things. This can be used in pure and alloy forms.
Properties of Alloy Copper:
- This is good in electrical conductivity.
- It has good corrosion resistance.
- This can easily polished.
- This has good fatigue resistance.
- Due to ductile, it makes easy to work.
- It can be welded easily.
- Strength and hardness can be increased by alloying, like adding Zinc, nickel, silver, tin.
- This can be machined easily and widely used in many industries.
- Pure copper is Used in electrical conductors.
- Used in cables.
- And it had a good thermal conductivity, due to this it can be used in Radiator elements, cooking vessels etc.
Types of Copper Alloys:.
Copper Alloys are divided into two types:
- Brasses
- Bronzes
Both are the alloys of copper and zinc but in Brass, there is 43% of zinc and in Bronze, it contains tin up to 10% and another element zinc.
