The following are some common application areas of copper materials:

Electrical industry: Copper has excellent electrical conductivity and is widely used in electrical equipment such as cables, wires, motors and transformers.

Electronics industry: Copper is commonly used in electronic components such as circuit boards, connectors and connectors due to its excellent electrical conductivity.

Construction industry: In plumbing systems, heating systems, fire alarms and building control systems, copper piping is widely used because of its corrosion resistance and bactericidal properties.

Machining: Copper and its alloys are used in the manufacture of machine parts, tools, valves, pumps, etc., especially for corrosion resistance or where high precision is required.

Automotive manufacturing: Radiators, wires, fuel tanks and other components in automobiles are often made of copper.

Household appliances: Condensing tubes and heaters used in household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners are often made of copper.

In the field of energy: in solar panels and wind power equipment, copper coils are an indispensable component.

Medical devices: Copper alloys are commonly used in the manufacture of medical devices and devices, such as pacemakers, joint replacements, milk tooth clips, etc.

Shipbuilding: Copper and copper alloys are used in the shipbuilding industry as corrosion resistant materials for hull sections, seawater pipes and valves, among others.

Decorative art: Because of its beautiful color and plasticity, copper is also often used in the production of sculpture and crafts.

These applications of copper cover many fields such as industry, electronics, architecture and art, demonstrating its important place in modern life.
