Copper Wire Overview
Copper wire: raw material for wire and cable production.
Bare copper wire: copper wire, that is, linear copper (red copper). Mostly used for conducting electricity.
Copper flat wire: Copper flat wire, also known as flat wire, flattened wire, rectangular wire or ultra-narrow strip, refers to a heterogeneous metal wire with an approximately rounded rectangular cross-section, with a thickness ranging from 0.025mm to 2mm and a width generally less than 5mm. Its width-to-thickness ratio ranges from 2:1 to 50:1. Because the flat wire is shaped like a ribbon, it is sometimes called an ultra-narrow flat ribbon. Induction coils for motors, transformers, etc.
Enameled copper wire: Enameled wire is a major type of winding wire, consisting of a conductor and an insulating layer. It is the main raw material for motors, electrical appliances, household appliances and other products.
Brass wire: It has good mechanical properties, good plasticity in hot state, acceptable plasticity in cold state, good machinability, easy fiber welding and welding, and corrosion resistance.
Brass flat wire: good mechanical properties, good plasticity in hot state, acceptable plasticity in cold state, good machinability, easy fiber welding and welding, corrosion resistance.

Copper Wire Application
Electrical field: Copper wire is widely used in the electrical field, mainly used to manufacture wires, cables, electrical appliances, etc. In the power system, copper wire is an important material for electrical conductors and is used in power equipment such as generators, transformers, and motors to ensure the stability and safety of the power system. In addition, copper wire is also widely used in the manufacture of electronic components, such as resistors, inductors, capacitors, etc.
Communication field: Copper wire plays an important role in communication technology. As the main medium for transmitting signals, it is widely used in telephone lines, broadband networks, optical fiber communications, satellite communications and other fields. The low impedance, low noise, and high transmission rate of copper wires can meet the high requirements of modern communications.
Transportation field: Copper wires are also widely used in transportation systems, especially in electrical equipment and power transmission systems in rail transit, automobiles, electric bicycles and other electric vehicles. The high reliability and corrosion resistance of copper wires can ensure the normal operation and safety of transportation equipment.
Home field: Copper wire is also widely used in the home field. For example, lamps made of copper wire not only have beautiful appearance and good lighting effect, but also are often used to make household heating equipment such as heated faucets and heated handles due to their excellent thermal conductivity.
Industrial manufacturing: Copper wire is also widely used in industrial manufacturing, such as automobiles, ships, machine manufacturing and other industries, to manufacture various electrical equipment and connecting lines.

FAQ
How to choose the appropriate copper wire specification?
Answer: When selecting copper wire specifications, you need to consider factors such as current size, voltage, and usage environment. Generally, the greater the current, the greater the cross-sectional area of copper wire required.
How corrosion-resistant is copper wire?
Answer: Copper wire has relatively good corrosion resistance, but corrosion may still occur in certain environments (such as environments containing corrosive gases such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia). Therefore, appropriate protective measures need to be taken when using in these environments.
What factors affect the price of copper wire?
Answer: The price of copper wire is affected by many factors such as raw material prices, production costs, market demand and supply. Fluctuations in copper prices will have a direct impact on the price of copper wires.
How to care for and maintain copper wire?
Answer: The main purpose of maintaining and maintaining copper wires is to prevent them from oxidation and corrosion. Regularly check the connection status of the copper wire to ensure that it is fastened reliably; when using it in a humid environment, pay attention to waterproofing and moisture-proofing; avoid excessive bending and stretching of the copper wire to avoid damage.
What is the role of copper wire in electrical connections?
Answer: Copper wire plays the role of a bridge in electrical connections, connecting the power supply and electrical equipment to ensure that current can be transmitted smoothly. Its conductive properties and stability directly affect the normal operation of electrical equipment.
What are the advantages of copper wire over other conductive materials?
Answer: Compared with other conductive materials, copper wire has excellent electrical conductivity, good processing performance, high mechanical strength and relatively low price. These advantages make copper wire widely used in electrical and electronic fields.
