The copper deposits are practically depleted today, so recycling it is even more necessary for its conservation and possible use. Copper is a metal with many properties, which is why it is present in a wide variety of elements that surround us in our daily life:

Due to a106 grade b great resistance to corrosion, copper is used in ship hulls, decks, nails and in many other devices

Due to its great ability to conduct electricity, copper is used in the manufacture of electrical wiring, telephone cables, electronics are few of examples

Because astm a53 is a great thermal conductor, copper is used in pipes, and wires

Because astm a333 is malleable, copper is used in the manufacture of coins, weapons, musical instruments

Due to its bactericidal properties, copper is used in air conditioning devices, in irrigation networks, horseshoes, and taps. So titanium tube is used in many applications

But copper nickel pipe is often found alloyed with other metals giving rise to other materials that can also be recycled.

The main copper alloys are:

The bronze -> is an alloy of copper with tin (Cu + Sn). Copper represents 75-80%. Currently bronze is used in heat conductive alloys, in electric batteries, and in key manufacturing

Brass -> copper alloy with Zinc (Cu + Zn). The brass is harder than copper, is resistant to oxidation, salt conditions and is ductile so that it can be forged in thin sheets.

Nickel -> copper alloy with Nickel (Cu + Ni). It is mainly used in heat exchangers. The copper-nickel-zinc alloy (nickel silver) has good corrosion resistance and good mechanical qualities.

Aluminum -> copper alloy with Aluminum (Cu + Al). The so-called aluminum bronzes (with at least 10% aluminum) originate. It was already made in China in the 2nd century. It is highly appreciated in artistic works.

Beryllium -> copper alloy with Beryllium (Cu + be). Beryllium copper has important mechanical properties; it is used in the manufacture of springs of all kinds.

Chrome -> copper alloy with chromium (Cu + Cr). It is mainly used to make electrodes

Silver -> copper alloy with silver (Cu + Ag). It has a high hardness that allows it to withstand temperatures of up to 226 ºC.

Cadmium -> copper alloy with Cadmium (Cu + Cd). It is used in overhead power lines that withstand heavy mechanical, catenaries, and contact cables of surface transportation means.

All these copper alloys have their own benefits and features. These are used in the manufacturing of different type of devices.

Titanium welding under inert atmosphere

Certain metals and alloys, including titanium, require special know-how in terms of welding, to limit embrittlement by adding addition elements and deformation. This is why Copper Pipe is equipped with several closed enclosures to carry out titanium welding under an inert atmosphere. Other technical solutions are proposed for producing titanium welds on large parts.
