Copper ingots (Cu) is a transition element and has an atom with incomplete electron shells, so it has variable valence and forms mono- and divalent compounds. A copper ingot is a trapezoidal, brownish-red bar. It is very similar to a copper pig. The main difference is that an ingot is a non-ferrous rolled metal product, while pig is a ferrous rolled metal product.

The material is a semi-finished product in a convenient form for transportation. The existence of this type of non-ferrous rolled metal significantly simplifies the transportation and storage of copper and copper alloys for manufacturers and suppliers. It is in this form that the material is often delivered to warehouses at manufacturing facilities.

Copper ingots (Cu) – is a ductile and lightweight metal with one of the highest electrical current carrying capacities. It does not rust or deteriorate when exposed to moisture or air.

Product Type: Non-ferrous metal

Features & Benefits:

• Durability
• Plasticity
• Wear resistance
• Easy to machine
• Low coefficient of thermal expansion
• Resistant to some alkalis and dilute acids
• Aesthenic color

Applications areas:

• Copper ingots (Cu) – is used a raw material for processing and manufacturing products used in electrical engineering, architecture, design, construction, household and special-purpose equipment, mechanical engineering, aircraft manufacturing, component and part manufacturing, and much more. Copper can be produced into rods, foil, sheets, and more complex products.due to its high electrical and thermal conductivity, sufficient ductility and mechanical strength, pure copper is one of the essential materials for electronic equipment.
