1. Overview of copper rods
Copper rod is a kind of non-ferrous metal processing rod, which has good processing performance and high electrical conductivity.Mainly divided into brass rods (copper-zinc alloy, cheaper), copper rods (higher copper content).
2. Features
Brass rods are rod-shaped objects made of an alloy of copper and zinc, named for their yellow color.Brass with a copper content of 56%~68% has a melting point of 934~967 degrees.Brass has good mechanical properties and wear resistance, and can be used to manufacture precision instruments, parts of ships, shell casings of guns, etc.
Different zinc content will also have different colors. For example, if the zinc content is 18%-20%, it will be red-yellow, and if the zinc content is 20%-30%, it will be brown-yellow.In addition, brass sounds good when knocked, so Eastern gongs, cymbals, bells, trumpets and other musical instruments, as well as Western brass instruments are all made of brass.
3. Application scope
Air-conditioning pipes, refrigerator pipes, oil pipes, water supply pipes and various mechanical supporting materials, automotive synchronizer rings, marine pumps, valves, structural parts, friction accessories, etc.
