Copper sheet metal properties.

And unlined stainless steel sheets it s an unalloyed type of sheets. Cuprum and atomic number 29. Tensile strength yield strength b elongation copper or copper alloy uns no. One of few metals that doesn t need to be extracted from ore i e it is directly usable in its natural state copper exhibits excellent thermal and electrical conductivity good ductility and a natural resistance to corrosion.

Copper sheets plates are also noted for their high electrical and thermal conductivity and good corrosion resistance. Types of copper and properties. So whenever metal sheets need to work as conductors copper sheet metals are more preferred. It consists of 99 9 percent copper and is available in six tempers designated by astm b370 as.

110 copper sheet plate is widely known for its architectural applications whereas the familiar green patina appearance is acheived when exposed to the elements copper sheets and plates have excellent hot or cold workability and is ductile when heated. There are several properties in copper sheet metals for which it s preferred in many industrial and commercial purposes. It is a soft malleable and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity a freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a pinkish orange color copper is used as a conductor of heat and electricity as a building material and as a constituent of various metal alloys such as sterling. Copper itself is a conductive metal.

The copper most commonly used for sheet and strip applications complies with astm b370.
