Bare Copper Wire

• The bare copper wires are the most commercially
  viable components of the modern day engineering
  instruments and machines. From electric kettle to
  gigantic blast furnaces, every electrical gadget
  has bare copper somewhere or the other.
  Considered as the key element in transforming the
  electrical science with its superior physical and
  electromagnetic properties, copper today has
  entered almost every aspect of the life. The bare
  copper wires are the most conventional forms of
  engineering wires that can be used in repairing
  and replacing the faulty electric lines.

• The top 5 reasons why bare copper wires are used
  as electrical and mechanical wires are as
  follows. -

1. High electrical conductivity

• The bare copper wires retain the best electrical
  properties that noble metals exhibit in the
  nature. Apart from the superior electrical
  conductivity, the bare copper wires also boost
  transmission through them by offering minimum
  resistance.The electrical conductivity ensures
  that the bare copper wire can be used in circuits
  and overhead power transmission lines. They are
  used in automobiles, heavy machineries and
  industrial Transformers and submarines.

2. Superior magnetic properties

• The bare copper wires exhibit relatively stronger
  magnetic properties than other naturally
  occurring metals. It can be used to make
  solenoids and magnetic bars. Most instruments
  have copper, and the bare copper wires ensure
  that the electrical properties of the component
  are not affected by the magnetic straying. Most
  elements have issues related to the intermingling
  of both properties.

3. Durability

• No electrical wire component can beat the
  durability features offered by the bare copper
  wires. Due to their long-lasting properties and
  impressive resistance against wear and tear, bare
  copper wires are widely used in fast moving
  machines and appliances where they constantly
  have to operate under high temperatures and
  vibrations.

4. Ductility

• The bare copper wires have an amazing ductility
  that makes them favorite for use in smaller
  machines that have a limitation of space and
  utility. Owing to the property of ductility, the
  copper bare wires can be drawn into thin wires
  with minimum diameters. This engineering property
  blessed with physical features ensures that the
  strain in diameter does not result in any change
  in the electrical properties.

5. Alloyoptions

• The bare copper can be alloyed and coated with
  other metals as well. Nickel, zinc and tin are
  the most popular metals that are alloyed with
  bare copper wires to further raise its electrical
  properties and ensure noncorrosive environment.
  The electroplating alloys ensure that the bare
  copper wires remain chemically insulated against
  environment and abrasive agents.
