Working with metal is people have very long time. Mankind uses a variety of types of metals for the production of functional and decorative objects, creating various alloys having other than the original material characteristics.

In this article we will talk about one of the most prevalent metal materials – copper. You will learn what constitutes this material, and become familiar with the fact that it now often do. Most likely, you have heard about such thing as a copper plate, and the uniqueness of it is that it can be used in medicine, manufacturing, and creating jewelry. Of course, this is not the only form factor – about the other we are going to talk in this article. So if you are wondering how to create and use a copper plate, and other objects made of copper, this material is for you. You will find here all the basic information about the production and use objects from this metal, as well as their characteristics.

What is copper?

copper plate

Now, before you start to learn what the copper plate and strip and foil, you should deal with that, do you know everything you need about copper. Many people do not think about such simple details, assuming they don't have much information on a particular topic. The same is the case with copper – most people can tell that there are copper pipes, and also that in ancient times was copper age, but no details about the metal they could not name. This is why you need to pay more attention to the very metal, before embarking on the study of the products produced from it.

Where should you start? You should understand that copper-it's pure metal, not an alloy, so it can be found in nature. And this is due to the fact that to detect it, in principle, not so difficult, happened the copper age, which in ancient times replaced the stone. The fact that tools of copper were much more effective than the stone counterparts, and in combination with a large number of copper ore and its low melting point had a very efficient production.

Of Course, it was already noticeable major problems, namely, softness of the material. If not that, then maybe mankind would have never entered the iron age. But the iron had replaced copper because it was much harder than copper.

However, in the modern world copper is used very widely, it is one of the most popular metals manufacturing. But it is important that the material appeared to be clean, without admixtures of other metals, as even a hundredth of a percent of the content of other materials in the copper greatly reduces the quality of heat and electrical conductivity, for which all praise and so much because she is so popular.

Well, now you know the basic data about the metal. It's time to move on to more specific issues, namely the products that are produced from it. Of course, there will not be described all kinds of copper products – a lot of them. Therefore, it is worth noting that the focus of this article will focus on the plates, strips and foil. And the first thing that will be considered in detail – it is a copper plate.copper tape

Production of copper plates

When the copper ore is obtained from copper, it is necessary to give a specific form, which is required for further use of the material. And often the metal is rolled into a copper sheet from which it has created a plate of the desired shape. The size and thickness of the copper plate depend on what you will use items that are created from it. Very often you can find plate thickness of one millimeter, most likely, they are the most common of all. As you know, are made of a copper plate using a special machine that is able to roll metal to the desired thickness. This high-tech machine, so in private use it can be found rarely. Often such devices are in the factories working with non-ferrous metals. So, you get copper sheet. What you can do with him? What are its characteristics?

Features copper plates

I Can fancy what a copper plate 1 mm thick? This is a pretty thin object, and so the first thing we can say about the flexibility of this material as a leading characteristic. Combined with high strength flexible copper plate gives it a broad scope, but this will be discussed further.copper foil

Now it should be noted that the copper plate has other very important properties, which also attract people using this material for their own purposes. It turns out that copper is one of the best conductors of electricity and heat among the metals – according to these parameters the material is second only to silver. However, it should be noted that the cost of copper is much lower than the cost of silver, which is classified as a precious metal, so the choice for industry and manufacturing is obvious.

In addition, not one study has confirmedcopper is a kind of drug, therefore characteristics of this metal are striking. Because this material can be used not only as a copper rolled products in the production, but also as a remedy at home. Well, it's time for a more in depth look at the field of application of copper plates.

Copper plate

The Size, the weight of the copper plate (it can easily be calculated using the formula: length (cm) × width (cm) × thickness (cm) × 8,93 (specific weight of copper, g/cm3)) and also some other physical and technical factors may affect, for any sphere of activity material is made.

In the first place should pay attention to the production, especially in the industry of non-ferrous metals, because that is where most often, these materials are produced and used. There is a welding of copper plates, changing their shape, cutting desired sizes and shapes and so on. As everyone knows, has long been one of the copper plates used to create a variety of pipelines. However, beyond this example of a useful application of copper there are also other areas which many people do not think.

For Example, a copper plate is widely distributed for manufacturing of various decorative ornaments. The fact that the flexibility of copper is used in order to depict the various patterns, and even the most detailed. So get ornaments to hang on the wall in the house or to wear on your own body.

By the Way, if we talk about the body, we must not forget that a small copper plates are made in order to use them for medicinal purposes. Copper has healing properties, so if you are going to use this plate, you will not only feel better, but even cure some diseases.

Also Used the copper plate for the chips, which are then used in high-tech products, such as computers. Here is the way accounts for the high electrical conductivity of this metal, as well as the possibility of giving him any shape with a minimum thickness. You can often find such items on motherboards, graphics cards and so on. We must not forget also that the used copper plate for grounding, again due to its ability to conduct electricity. However, enough about the plate – it's time to pay attention to other items.copper leaf

Production of copper strip

In principle, the copper tape is almost the same as the plate, however, it is worth noting that it requires even more sophisticated equipment to achieve high accuracy. In contrast to conventional plates, which can be created using HR technology for the production of cold-rolled strip of the required it technology – it is due to its use and it is possible to achieve the required thickness of the product. And what kind of thickness should be copper tape? About it you now know. You should pay attention to the fact that both the production and characteristics of various types of copper products can be the same or very similar, but their scope can be very different.

Features copper ribbon

Copper tape, also known as copper strip, differs from the plate in essentially only its thickness. If the plate thickness of one millimeter is almost minimal (mainly plates are much thicker, especially when the end product needs to be durable, that is to be used and not for decoration), then tape this thickness – it is almost the maximum allowed. The fact that the thickness of the tape is usually about one tenth of a millimeter, sometimes it can be up to five hundredths of a millimeter. That is why the copper tape comes not in sheets, plates and coils as it rolled. As for the other parameters, and thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity from changes in the thickness of the material do not change.

Copper ribbon

One of the main areas of application of copper tape is manufacture of various heat-exchange devices, just due to the fact that all the required properties of the metal remain, regardless of its size and thickness. Also, the copper tape can be found in a variety of power capacitors, electrical items and even construction materials. But again, it's all practical applications, but in recent years, more and more began to appear a variety of decorative works, which used copper tape.copper plate 1 mm

Production of copper foil

The Last of the considered material is copper foil – the thinnest copper that is used in the industry. However, do not rush to say that you saw her and you know and constantly use. The fact that food foil, so popular in the household, most often made of aluminum or steel, but not copper. As for the copper foil, it can be done in two ways – the result is either rolled or electrodeposited foil. In the second case the material is grainy, so use it dynamically does not work – such foil is used only forstatic goals. As for the katana, this foil is much more smooth, so dynamic its use is not in danger of cracking.

Features copper foil

Copper foil as mentioned earlier, it has all the same properties and characteristics as previous materials, but is distinguished by its incredibly small thickness. If you thought that copper tape is very thin, you're wrong – in fact it is the thinnest foil. Under certain methods of treatment can achieve amazing thickness – a total of 18 micrometers, and in some cases the result is even more impressive. But how can I use such a thin material?

Copper foil

Of Course, due to its electrical conductivity and extremely small thickness of copper foil is often used in electrical engineering. It can be found in various electronic circuit boards, even in the most tiny. Also very common to see, as the copper foil used for shielding of cables – for this task it is much better than any other material, which is available in the same price category. As mentioned earlier, the food industry copper foil is not used, as it has a much more suitable alternative to aluminium and steel. It is also possible to detect the copper foil in the construction industry – more often there it is used for insulation. And of course, very often, not only copper, but any other foil used in the printing industry in order to produce the embossing.

Of Course, this is not all the areas in which you can find a use for such a marvelous product such as copper foil. Many thousands of years ago, when the Earth was the copper age, people did not know how to handle other metals, so they used a simple and common material-copper. He is, for all its faults was much nicer in the manufacture and use of tools, than a stone that was previously used.copper strip

Now mankind has access to a variety of materials. However, people still continue to use copper, which proves the fact that its incredible properties and qualities valued, sought after and are valued at all times.
