Copper rod

Product details:

Application:

Copper rods have diverse application fields. In the electrical industry, due to their excellent electrical conductivity, they are often used in wires, cables, and conductive parts of substations, enabling efficient power transmission and reducing energy consumption. During mechanical processing, because of their excellent plasticity, they are made into valves, pipe fittings, etc. through forging and extrusion, and perform well in pipelines for transporting weakly corrosive liquids. In the decorative field, after polishing and carving, their purplish-red appearance turns into exquisite handicrafts, sculptures, and architectural decorations, fully showing simplicity and elegance. In heat exchange systems, given their good thermal conductivity, they are used in components such as radiator fins of automobile water tanks, effectively promoting heat dissipation and ensuring the stable operation of the system. They are high-quality choices for many industrial and decorative scenarios.

Product Features:

1. Excellent electrical and thermal conductivity

Conductive performance: Copper rods have extremely high electrical conductivity and are excellent conductive materials. Its electrical conductivity can reach about 58×10⁶ – 62×10⁶S/m, and is widely used in the electrical industry. For example, in the busbar system of a substation, copper rods can efficiently conduct strong currents, reduce power loss, and ensure the efficiency and stability of power transmission.

Thermal conductivity: Its thermal conductivity is also excellent, with a thermal conductivity coefficient of about 385 – 401W/(m·K). This makes copper rods play a key role in heat dissipation devices. For example, in the cooling system of an industrial furnace, copper rods can quickly conduct heat away, prevent equipment from overheating, and effectively extend the service life of the equipment.

2. Good mechanical properties

Strength and toughness: Copper rods have a certain strength and can withstand a certain amount of external force. At the same time, it also has good toughness and will not break easily when impacted or bent. In some application scenarios that need to withstand dynamic loads, such as mechanical transmission parts, copper rods can effectively resist fatigue damage while ensuring structural stability.

Ductility and plasticity: Copper rods have excellent ductility and plasticity. It can be made into various shapes by cold working and hot working. In cold working, such as cold drawing, copper rods can be drawn into filaments for the manufacture of wires, cables, etc.; in hot working, such as forging or extrusion, copper rods can be processed into complex shapes for the manufacture of various copper products.

3. Chemical stability and corrosion resistance

Under normal conditions, copper rods are chemically stable. It will slowly oxidize in the air, forming a dense oxide film on the surface, which can prevent further oxidation of the internal copper. In dry air, copper rods can maintain their performance for a long time. However, in corrosive environments containing acidic substances, salt spray, etc., copper rods may corrode, and corresponding protective measures need to be taken.

4. Beautiful appearance characteristics

Beautiful color: The copper rod presents a unique purple-red color, which is highly recognizable and decorative. In the fields of architectural decoration, art sculpture, etc., the color of the copper rod can add a simple and elegant atmosphere to the work, and is deeply loved by artists and designers.

Good surface quality: After proper processing, the surface of the copper rod can achieve a high degree of finish, which can reflect light and enhance the visual effect. And through surface treatment methods such as polishing and brushing, the copper rod can present different textures to meet diverse aesthetic needs.

5. Easy to process and connect

Good processing performance: The copper rod is easy to carry out various mechanical processing, such as cutting, drilling, grinding, etc. During the cutting process, the cutting force is small, the processing surface quality is high, and precise dimensions and good surface finish can be obtained. This makes it very convenient when manufacturing high-precision mechanical parts and decorations.

Good connection performance: The copper rod can be connected in a variety of ways, such as welding, riveting, threaded connection, etc. The welded copper rod joint is firm and can maintain good mechanical properties and conductivity. In the assembly of electrical equipment and the construction of piping systems, this good connection performance can ensure the integrity and reliability of the system.
