Copper End Forming & Bending Materials
Copper is easily formed, ductile, corrosion-resistant, and malleable. It is also one of the best conductors of electricity. As a result of copper tubing’s high conductivity and malleability, careful consideration must be put into the end-use, as thermal changes coupled with movement may cause fractures.
Supple and an excellent conductor of electricity, copper is suitable for a variety of applications. Reach new performance levels with our copper end forming & bending materials services.
Benefits Of Copper
Copper is a soft metal with a reddish-orange luster. Its electrical conductivity is second only to silver. Other characteristics include:
- Formable
- Ductile
- Corrodes Slowly
Copper can be bent into a variety of shapes. With the correct technique, it will not collapse on the outside of the bend nor buckle on the inside.
Applications
As a result of its excellent electrical conductivity, copper bending materials are commonly used in electrical equipment. Other applications that can benefit from this metal include:
- Refrigerant Lines
- Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning Transfer Lines, or HVAC Transfer Lines
- Water Lines
- Natural Gas Lines
- Cooking Equipment
- Plumbing Systems
- Water Distribution Systems
- Medical Gas Lines
- Fire Sprinklers
