Copper Round Bar manufacturers produce different grades of the bars. Copper is naturally corrosion resistant material. It is used primarily for this property in many applications such as water lines and marine water applications. Copper also has very high electrical conductivity. This property makes is applicable in the electrical systems. The thermal conductivity properties allow copper to be applied in condensers and heat exchangers. Pure copper lacks the strength, but it could be bent without cracking. For this reason, copper round bar is used in applications where strength is not the primary concern. Copper material manufacturers also produce different types of copper bars.
There are different shapes such as the round bar, hexagon bar, square bar and the flat bar. Each of these specific types serves different purposes. Some applications need solid copper round bar to be used. The copper round bar is also called a copper rod. There are different grades of the rod depending on the addition of alloying material. If no alloy material is added, it is called pure copper bar or pure copper rod. The commercially pure copper can contain up to 99.99% copper. Due to the various requirements of the applications, there are different types of alloying. Each different alloyed copper has its own specific characteristics. The copper rods could be seen in different sizes as well. The rods are used mostly in the electrical industries. The copper rod price depends on the standard or grade of the material, the requirements of the application and of course the market factors.
