Copper

Copper (and high-conductivity copper alloys) — High-conductivity metal for electrical and thermal components.

Advantages

Limitations

Compatible Processes

Remove material from solid stock using computer-controlled cutting tools.

Cut, bend, and join sheet stock into brackets, enclosures, and chassis.

Form sheet metal in powered presses using dies for high-volume repeatable parts.

Force material through a die to create continuous profiles later cut to length.

Shape metal using compressive force, often improving grain flow for structural parts.
