Copper is a widely used metal known for its excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance. Copper products come in various grades, indicate the specific composition and properties of the alloy. Here are some common copper products and their corresponding grades Overall, the choice of the specific grade of copper product depends on the application requirements such as conductivity, strength, corrosion resistance, and other mechanical properties.
