• 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.

Here are some enticing facts about copper used in
different forms-
1. Native copper Source of minerals and gems 2.
Copper alloys A family of 400 combinations 3.
Microchips Is it a smart metal 4. Tinned marine
wires

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.
