Large arsenal of pure copper allows us to manufacture all types of copper wires from 99.99% purity levels to mixed and alloys of copper. Additionally, copper wires provided from our end can be fully customized and tailor-made as per your specific requirements. Copper Wire is a single electrical conductor manufactured out of Copper Ore. This widely used conductor can either be insulated or uninsulated. Having a moderate conductivity, it’s used to transfer electricity with low voltage. Electrical wiring in buildings is the largest market for the copper industry worldwide. As per an estimation, around half of the copper mines is consumed in manufacturing electrical wire and cable conductors. Properties of Copper Wire: Tensile Strength, Electrical Conductivity, Strength and Ductility combination, Creep resistance (it doesn’t change much due to heat), Corrosion resistance, Co-efficient of thermal expansion, Ease of installation. Type of Copper Wire: Tin Coated Copper Wire: Once the wire is made of copper, it is further processed by making use of tin thus creating a tin coated copper wire. Usually there are two methods of creating tin coated copper wire, one is – hot dipping, and the second method is – electroplating. In the first method, strands of copper are dipped into hot tin whereas, in the second option, rectifier and electrical charge are utilized. Solid & Stranded: Solid wire is formed by one strand of copper metal wire, bare or surrounded by an insulator. Typically, single-strand copper conductors are used as magnet wire in motors and transformers. Compared to other wire, they are rigid, doesn’t get bended easily, and are usually installed in permanent, frequently handled, and low flex application. A stranded wire is combination of copper wires bunched or twisted together. It is easier to install than a single-strand wire of the similar cross section. Stranding enhances the life of the wire in application with vibration.
