COPPER SHEETS

COPPER SHEETS

Copper sheets are thin, flat pieces of copper. They can be produced by rolling or hammering copper ingots.

Applications: Used in roofing, architectural applications, electrical projects, and as a raw material for fabrication.

What are Copper Sheets?

Copper sheets are flat, thin pieces of copper metal that come in various thicknesses (also called gauges) and sizes. They are valued for their strength, durability, conductivity, and attractive reddish-brown appearance. Copper sheets are widely used in industrial, architectural, and artistic applications.

Key Properties of Copper Sheets

  • High Electrical & Thermal Conductivity – Suitable for electrical components and heat exchangers.
  • Corrosion Resistance – Naturally resists oxidation and atmospheric wear.
  • Malleability & Ductility – Easy to cut, bend, and shape into custom forms.
  • Aesthetic Appeal – Develops a natural patina over time, often desired in architecture.
  • Recyclable – Eco-friendly and reusable without loss of quality.

Types of Copper Sheets

  • Cold Rolled Copper Sheets – Smooth surface, consistent thickness.
  • Hot Rolled Copper Sheets – Tougher, slightly rough surface.
  • Oxygen-Free Copper Sheets – High purity, excellent for electrical applications.
  • Alloyed Copper Sheets – Mixed with zinc, tin, or nickel for specific strength and color.

Benefits of Using Copper Sheets

  • Durable and long-lasting material
  • Naturally antimicrobial (good for hygiene)
  • Easy to work with in fabrication
  • Adds both functional and aesthetic value
