Copper is among the most popular metals for applications requiring superior performance in harsh environments. Few other materials provide similar levels of electrical conductivity, machineability, corrosion resistance and overall versatility. At American Micro Industries, we offer high-quality copper machined components using advanced metal CNC technology to meet all your production needs.

Copper Properties and Characteristics

Copper is a naturally occurring element known for its distinctive reddish-orange color. This versatile metal exists in several forms, including oxygen-free copper for maximum conductivity, beryllium copper for enhanced hardness and phosphor bronze for superior elasticity and fatigue resistance.

Benefits of working with copper in CNC machining include:

  • Electrical conductivity: Copper conducts electricity more efficiently than nearly every other metal except silver.
  • Thermal management: Copper efficiently dissipates heat in critical components where temperature control can impact performance and longevity.
  • Antimicrobial properties: Copper surfaces naturally destroy a wide range of harmful microorganisms. This makes copper ideal for medical devices requiring high sanitation properties.
  • Formability: Copper is highly malleable and ductile despite its outstanding strength, allowing for complex machining operations while maintaining structural integrity.
