Copper is a highly versatile and ductile metal known for its excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance. It is naturally reddish-brown in color and is widely used in electrical wiring, plumbing, heating systems, and industrial machinery. Copper is also highly resistant to corrosion, especially in water and atmospheric conditions, making it ideal for use in marine environments and piping systems. It is available in various forms such as sheets, rods, tubes, and wire. Copper alloys, such as bronze and brass, are commonly used in applications that require enhanced strength or specific properties. Copper is essential in industries such as electronics, renewable energy, aerospace, and construction due to its superior conductivity and malleability.
