Annealed Bare Copper Wire Annealing is a heat treatment process where copper wire is heated to a specific temperature and then slowly cooled. This process reduces the hardness of the copper, making it more malleable and easier to shape or bend without cracking. Key Characteristics Ductility: Highly flexible and can be bent or twisted without breaking. Conductivity: Excellent electrical conductivity, making it ideal for electrical and electronic applications. Corrosion Resistance: Natural resistance to corrosion ensures durability in various environments. Bare Surface: No additional insulation or coating, exposing the pure copper surface. Common Applications Electrical Wiring: Used in applications requiring high conductivity, such as grounding and bonding. Electronics: Found in components where flexibility and high conductivity are needed. Art and Craft: Preferred for sculpting, jewelry making, and other artistic purposes due to its malleability. Industrial Uses: Utilized in transformers, motors, and other industrial equipment requiring efficient energy transfer. Advantages Cost-effective compared to coated or insulated wires. Easily recyclable and environmentally friendly. Adaptable for a wide range of uses, from small-scale projects to industrial applications.
