Top 5 Diverse Applications of Copper Wires

1. A Look at Top 5 Diverse Applications of Copper Wires

2. Copper is often regarded as the magical metal. Why? Because it can be used in millions of applications! • It is available in abundance and can be used just as efficiently from the scrapped metal pieces as from raw ores. • Here are 5 wonderful applications of copper wires and alloyed compounds that you can see around you. • Amazingly, each appliance uses a distinct property of the copper wires and plates in the application.

3. 1. Pins in the 13 a Plug: Take the 2-Pin and 3-Pin plugs. The shinning metal piece that fits into the switch board is copper. The high quality copper wires inside the plug prevents the appliance from getting short-circuited. The 3 Pin plug has a ground wire made of bare copper wires. The copper wires and rods are used as they have a good electrical conductivity and high ductility. Smaller plugs are manufactured owing to the easy alloy ability. Next time you see a plug, just remember how copper makes your life so easy in connecting devices.

4. 2. Water Pipes and Plumbing tubes: Electrical appliances are not the only items that use copper extensively. Plumbing tubes and water lines also use copper alloys. Its anti-bacterial properties in addition to resistance against corrosion make copper the most preferred metal for manufacturing of plumbing items. It can be easily bent around with heating and can be set to its form which lasts longer than other metal frames. It is also used in solar heating water tubes owing to a very good thermal efficiency. Loss is less than 5 percent and hence guarantees good efficiency when it comes to using solar heaters.

5. 3. Kitchen appliances: Thermal conductivity of copper alloys makes them a viable option for use in kitchen appliances. The tinned copper wires, insulated and soldered copper wires are used extensively in appliances like Microwave ovens, coffee makers, induction heaters, hot plates and OTGs. Even the humble sauce pan has a copper alloy coating to ensure quick heating. It also ensures uniform distribution of heat around the base preventing sticking and burning of ingredients above the flame. It also prevents wastage of fuel as the pan tends to get heated quicker than those made of other metals.

6. 4. Coins and pins: Coins made of copper and its alloys have been in place since centuries. Even today, coin minting employs copper as a base metal. It is cheap, corrosion resistant and lighter compared to ones made using gold and silver. They can be recycled too and used for manufacturing of other copper-based compounds. Apart from the coin minting processes, copper metal and its alloys are also used to manufacture thin reeds, nibs, needles and scribes. They are resistant to corrosion and breakage. They can be drawn to thinnest of wires and plates.

7. 5. Guided missile systems: From humble sauce pans to space exploration, copper has a significant participation. In warfare, copper is used in guiding missiles to their targets. It is also used in the advanced guns and barrel-loaded tanks. With so much diversity in its applications, copper truly rules the metal market.
