Copper

Copper: An Introduction

Depending on its mechanical properties, copper can be used in a variety of applications. Due to its strength, hardness, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance, copper is a popular material valued for its aesthetic and functional properties. Copper can be made into alloys to improve its mechanical properties as well.
