The Versatility and Vitality of Copper Rods: Engineering’s Unsung Heroes  

Copper rod is a type of non-ferrous metal processing rod with good processing performance and high conductivity. Mainly divided into brass rods (copper-zinc alloy, cheaper) and purple copper rods (higher copper content). A brass rod is a rod-shaped object made of an alloy of copper and zinc, named after its yellow color. Brass, with a copper content of 56% to 68%, has a melting point of 934 to 967 degrees. Brass has excellent mechanical and wear resistance properties and can be used to manufacture precision instruments, ship parts, gun casings, etc. Different zinc contents result in different colors. For example, a zinc content of 18% -20% will appear reddish yellow, while a zinc content of 20% -30% will appear brownish yellow. In addition, brass has a unique sound when struck, so Eastern instruments such as gongs, cymbals, bells, horns, and Western brass instruments are all made of brass.

Application areas of copper bars

High-precision and pure copper rods are widely used as conductive materials in the electronic industry for the manufacturing of electronic components, integrated circuits, electrolytic capacitors, and other electronic devices. Some special electronic devices, such as LED lights, solar panels, etc., also require the use of high-precision and pure copper rods.

The application of copper bars in the construction industry is mainly reflected in two aspects: first, as building materials, such as roof covers, balcony railings, etc.; The second is decorative materials, such as copper pipes, copper carvings, and some special building structures, such as steel core aluminum stranded wire in steel structures, also require the use of copper rods as conductive materials.

The application of alloy copper bars in the field of mechanical manufacturing is very extensive. Mechanical parts such as gears, bearings, nuts, etc., are all made of alloy copper. Some special mechanical equipment, such as diesel generators, wind turbines, etc., also require the use of alloy copper bars as key components.

Automobile manufacturing is one of the important application areas of alloy copper bars. Important parts such as crankshafts and connecting rods in engines are made of alloy copper. Some automotive components, such as brakes and suspension systems, also require components made of alloy copper.

The application of special-shaped copper rods in the aerospace field is mainly reflected in two aspects: firstly, as conductive materials, they are used to manufacture internal circuits of aircraft, rockets and other spacecraft; Secondly, as a structural material, it is used to manufacture some special aviation components, such as wing ribs, propellers, etc.
