As a relatively soft metal, copper is also highly malleable and easy to work with. It\u2019s environmentally friendly due to its recyclability and has the advantage of not becoming brittle in low-temperature environments. The metal\u2019s distinct, beautiful color makes it popular in decorative building materials, while its ability to form a protective oxide layer enhances its corrosion resistance. Additionally, copper\u2019s antimicrobial properties make it ideal for high-touch surfaces and plumbing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">However, copper is denser and heavier than iron.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"color: #333333;\">What Is Pure Copper?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Pure copper refers to copper alloys with a copper content of 99.90% or higher. Based on the oxygen content, pure copper is classified into three types: <strong>oxygen-free copper, tough-pitch copper,<\/strong> and <strong>deoxidized copper<\/strong>. Oxygen-free copper has minimal oxygen and is highly pure. Tough-pitch copper contains trace oxygen, enhancing its corrosion resistance and weatherability. Deoxidized copper, which includes small amounts of non-metallic deoxidizers like phosphorus, is less prone to hydrogen embrittlement.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Characteristics of Pure Copper<\/span><\/h2><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Pure copper stands out among copper alloys for its superior electrical and thermal conductivity.

Brass has a beautiful metallic sheen similar to gold.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt; font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align);\">Bronze<\/span><\/h3><div><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Bronze is copper alloyed with tin. It gradually oxidizes in the atmosphere, forming a green patina known as verdigris. Bronze is harder than pure copper but has a lower melting point, making it one of the oldest metals used by humans. It is found in 10-yen coins and everyday items.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">High-Copper Alloys<\/span><\/h3><div><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">High-copper alloys contain over 96% copper, offering similar thermal and electrical conductivity as pure copper while providing increased strength and heat resistance. These alloys are used in precision instruments like computers and smartphones, as well as in automotive components. The properties of high-copper alloys vary depending on the added metals, such as beryllium copper, which has both electrical conductivity and spring properties.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Machining Tips for Copper Alloys<\/span><\/h2><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Copper and its alloys are soft metals, making them easy to cut, but they can also pose challenges due to their softness.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Tackiness and Burr Formation<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Copper is soft and has high ductility, which can lead to burrs during machining as the material tends to stick when cut.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Soldering During Machining<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Copper&#8217;s softness, combined with its low melting point, can cause cuttings to melt during machining, leading to soldering on the tool\u2019s cutting edge. To dissipate the heat generated during machining, coolants are necessary. However, using water-based coolants may cause discoloration due to corrosion, so oil-based coolants are recommended.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Due to copper&#8217;s tackiness, reducing cutting resistance is key.
