Copper, brass, bronze certificate

Are you interested in the characteristics of copper, bronze and brass from the supplier company AvecGlob? Here you will find the necessary information on this topic.

Characteristics of copper

Copper has certain unique qualities that make it the best technical material for bearings. These qualities are:

High thermal conductivity

Excellent ductility and viscosity over a wide range of temperatures

Excellent corrosion resistance in many environments

Atomic structure of copper

All three of the above qualities are directly related to the structure and behavior of the copper structure on an atomic scale. The copper atom is very similar to the atom of gold or silver, which, together with the copper, makes up the group in the periodic table of the elements.

The high electrical conductivity of copper is due to its atomic structure and. Within the lattice of copper atoms, a cloud of free electrons is uniquely available for electric current transmission. This same electron cloud also contributes to the efficient transfer of thermal energy.

Solid copper can be described as the arrangement of copper atoms in a face-centered cubic (fcc) configuration.

Copper has excellent ductility and toughness and is resistant to fatigue and creep. An additional advantage is that copper, since it is a face-centered structure, is not subject to embrittlement at negative temperatures: a phenomenon common to other crystal structures.

The combination of copper from electronic and crystallographic structures provides excellent resistance to corrosion.

Supplier — AvekGlob Company — offers to purchase assortment of various profiles of copper, brass and bronze. Products can be bought at a price formed on the basis of European and world standards. Implementation is possible in bulk and retail, for regular customers, a flexible system of discounts operates.

Copper alloys

We have seen how copper, the base metal for cast bronze, when you look at the atomic scale, gives important characteristics to good bearing materials.

But the bearings are not made from pure copper, but from a wide range of copper alloys that are now available. Each of these alloys improves the performance of pure copper and further adapts new material to specific environments.

Bearing brands of cast bronze can be classified into metal in the following categories:

Single-phase alloys of solid solutions

Polyphase Alloys

Composite materials

Metal alloys find their place in the copper lattice in three main ways:

They replace the copper atoms in the fcc lattice.

They combine with copper and form localized regions (phases);

They are cured by a solidified copper grating.

Studies have led to a graphical representation of how simple systems of binary alloys react. This representation is called a phase diagram.

The crystal structure of copper alloys, although stronger than pure copper due to deformation of the lattice, is still a fcc. Consequently, the sliding characteristics remain very good. Therefore, solid solutions of copper alloys retain high plasticity, despite a very significant increase in strength. Such materials are widely used in conditions where the material can be subjected to significant loads, but where the destruction will be catastrophic (for example, fittings in seawater systems of a nuclear reactor).

Supplier — AvekGlob company — offers different types of rolled products from copper, bronze or brass / Products are offered at affordable prices from the manufacturer. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer.
