Copper
Copper is a reddish-brown metal that is widely used in various industries due to its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and malleability. Copper can be used alone as well as by combining copper with other elements, such as zinc, tin, and nickel. Some common Copper types used are - Oxygen-free copper, Copper-nickel alloys, Beryllium copper, etc.
Copper is widely used in the electrical and electronics industries, where it is used to make wires, cables, motors, transformers, and other components. Copper is also important for its antimicrobial properties, which make it useful for medical equipment and surfaces in hospitals. Additionally, copper is highly recyclable, with nearly 80% of all copper produced still in use today.
