  2. Copper conductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_conductor

    An example of a copper alloy conductor is cadmium copper wire, which is used for railroad electrification in North America. [5] In Britain the BPO (later Post Office Telecommunications ) used cadmium copper aerial lines with 1% cadmium for extra strength; for local lines 40 lb/mile (1.3 mm dia) and for toll lines 70 lb/mile (1.7 mm dia).

  3. Copper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper

    Unoxidized copper wire (left) and oxidized copper wire (right) ... (currently called a nickel) consists of 75% copper and 25% nickel in homogeneous composition.

  4. Electrical conductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conductor

    The main grade of copper used for electrical applications, such as building wire, motor windings, cables and busbars, is electrolytic-tough pitch (ETP) copper (CW004A or ASTM designation C100140). If high conductivity copper must be welded or brazed or used in a reducing atmosphere, then oxygen-free high conductivity copper (CW008A or ASTM ...

  5. Wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire

    Wire was drawn in England from the medieval period. The wire was used to make wool cards and pins, manufactured goods whose import was prohibited by Edward IV in 1463. [5] The first wire mill in Great Britain was established at Tintern in about 1568 by the founders of the Company of Mineral and Battery Works, who had a monopoly on this. [6]

  6. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    This means that all pure copper (Cu) wires (which have not been subjected to distortion of their crystalline structure etc.), irrespective of their shape and size, have the same resistivity, but a long, thin copper wire has a much larger resistance than a thick, short copper wire. Every material has its own characteristic resistivity.

  7. Oxygen-free copper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen-free_copper

    The CuOFP capsule used as overpack for spent nuclear fuel disposal in the KBS-3 concept (Swedish version). Oxygen-free copper (OFC) or oxygen-free high thermal conductivity (OFHC) copper is a group of wrought high-conductivity copper alloys that have been electrolytically refined to reduce the level of oxygen to 0.001% or below.

  8. Copper-clad steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper-clad_steel

    John Ferreol Monnot, metallurgist, the inventor of the first successful process for manufacturing copper-clad steel. Copper-clad steel (CCS), also known as copper-covered steel or the trademarked name Copperweld is a bi-metallic product, mainly used in the wire industry that combines the high mechanical strength of steel with the conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper.

  9. Magnet wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_wire

    Inductor made with magnet wire wound around a toroidal core. Magnet wire or enameled wire is a copper or aluminium wire coated with a very thin layer of insulation.It is used in the construction of transformers, inductors, motors, generators, speakers, hard disk head actuators, electromagnets, electric guitar pickups, and other applications that require tight coils of insulated wire.
