Uses of copper in modern technology

Modern technologies run on huge volumes of copper. An adult virtually uses around 1500 pounds of copper in his or her lifetime. Are you wondering how? Copper is a major micronutrient present in diet. It is a vital ingredient to sustain life. But we are not focussing on the dietary aspect as much how copper forms the backbone of our technologies.

Native copper: Source of minerals and gems

Copper is available in many forms as minerals and ores. Some of the major sources of copper are cuprite, malachite, azurite, chalcopyrite and bornite. As time passed and mining improved, scientists discovered gemstones that were extracted from copper mines.

Copper alloys: A family of 400 combinations

Copper is the principal element in most alloys. Using alloy techniques, it is possible to produce Stranded copper wires of different dimensions and lengths. The hardness and quality of the different copper wires depend on the form and condition at which they are manufactured. Annealing, cold-drawing, cold rolling, tempering and casting are some of the basic treatments used to make wires and plates from copper alloys.

Microchips: Is it a smart metal

Copper has always been at the top of pack when it comes to usability in different applications. From utensils to jewellery, copper is omnipresent. Other than silicon chips, copper chips are also part of the micro and nano technologies.

Owing to the superior electrical and thermal properties, copper interconnections and chips are used to manufacture next-gen of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs)

Tinned marine wires

Marine wires require higher degree of flexibility and corrosion resistance. The boat and ship wires are made of high-quality stranded copper wires of Type II standing. Strands of electro-plated tin and copper wires are also included in the grade of Marine wires of AWG guage sizes.
