As is well known, copper has the second-highest electrical and thermal conductivity after silver, and it also boasts excellent corrosion resistance.
As is well known, copper has the second-highest electrical and thermal conductivity after silver, and it also boasts excellent corrosion resistance. Consequently, it is widely used in the chemical industry for manufacturing equipment that conducts electricity and heat. Copper is typically produced in the form of purple copper plates and copper strips. Many friends who aren't familiar with this might wonder: What exactly are copper plates made of, and what are they used for? Below, we’ll share some common applications of copper plates:
1. Use: Purple copper plates are used more extensively than pure iron. Each year, 50% of copper is electrolytically refined into pure copper for use in the electrical industry.
2. Applications: Copper exhibits excellent corrosion resistance in atmospheres, seawater, and certain non-oxidizing acids (such as hydrochloric acid and dilute sulfuric acid), alkalis, salt solutions, and various organic acids (such as acetic acid and citric acid), making it suitable for use in the chemical industry. In addition, copper has good weldability and can be processed into a variety of semi-finished and finished products through both cold working and hot plastic deformation.
3. Applications: With its uniquely superior performance, purple copper plates are an ideal substitute material for manufacturing circuit breakers, contact conductive plates, and conductive components for low-voltage air switches. Compared to pure copper plates and copper-iron alloy plates, purple copper plates exhibit increases of 10.4%, 3%, and 4.4% respectively in tensile strength, hardness, and electrical conductivity.
Applications: Excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, ductility, and corrosion resistance. Primarily used in the manufacture of electrical equipment such as generators, busbars, cables, switchgear, and transformers, as well as thermal equipment including heat exchangers, pipelines, and flat-plate collectors for solar heating systems.
5. Applications: Suitable for foundation waterproofing, dam body waterproofing, dam crest waterproofing, gallery waterproofing, internal hole waterproofing within the dam, in-plant waterproofing, and horizontal joint waterproofing beneath spillway surfaces. It is an ideal product for preventing omissions.
What are the uses of copper plates? Among all metal materials used in construction, copper boasts excellent ductility, giving it a significant advantage in adapting to various architectural forms. Copper plates are unaffected by processing temperatures; they remain non-brittle even at low temperatures, and their high melting point allows for the use of heat-melting welding methods such as oxy-fuel welding. Moreover, copper is fire-resistant and non-combustible.
