Used since the ancient Romans as water pipes and at different times in various fields: plumbing, electrical and thermal capacity having regard to its high conductivity; construction for gutters, rainwater pipes, roofing, artistic as ductile and malleable. It is an important component in many other non-ferrous metals alloys.
Its chemical symbol is Cu.
Divided into two main compositions according to use:
pipes for general use and for industrial use and plumbing
particularly suitable for use with high electrical conductivity, are available ready-to-stock:
Plate, sheet and strip for general use
Even in small dimensions plates. Plates cut to size also in OFHC UNI EN 1652 CW008A.
Also available on clients’ request bars in copper beryllium – copper chromium-zirconium – copper tellurium.
