This type of pure copper non-ferrous rolled products is widely used both in industry and in the domestic sphere. It is for this reason that copper wire production is not only put on stream. Products diverge in a variety of directions to ensure the production and repair of electrical equipment. The less impurities in the wire, the higher it is valued by buyers.
Negative effect of impurities
Different additives can get into copper in a variety of ways. Poor quality raw materials, the main reason for the appearance of marriage. A responsible manufacturer always monitors the quality of the supplied raw materials. If necessary, it produces a set of measures to remove impurities by chemical and mechanical methods. The following types of pollution are especially dangerous:
- nickel and aluminum increase the hardness of copper wire;
- tin and antimony reduce thermal and electrical agility;
- lead and bismuth do not dissolve in copper, but impair metal processing;
- Oxygen and sulfur make copper wire brittle.
The last point is especially dangerous if the wire will be used to create the windings of an electric motor or generator. Even if it is possible to create the required number of turns without breakdowns, there is no guarantee that during operation a break in a single turn will not occur at the most inopportune moment.
Scope of application of the finished product
The production of copper wire is a multi-stage process, which is characterized by increased energy consumption and regular quality checks of the manufactured goods. If the technology was not violated during the manufacturing process, the finished result meets all domestic and international standards. Pure copper wire can be used in the following areas of human activity:
- Wires of various sections for the transmission of electric current.
- As a connecting material for various semiconductors.
- Winds of electric motors and electric motors.
- Production of building and assembly structures.
- Rivets and copper nails are made from wire.
The wire is especially in demand in the manufacture and installation of various household appliances. Pure copper is an almost perfect conductor for electric current. Affordable cost and excellent performance characteristics make copper wire the most popular material in other areas of production and installation.
