Introduction

Copper is a reddish brown metal. It is one of the first metals extracted and used by man. When copper is combined with other metals such as zinc, tin, silicon, and lead, copper alloys are formed.

There are about 400 copper alloys available in the market today, designed to suit specific applications. Copper alloys are widely used in electrical, architecture, automotive, building wire, industrial and marine applications.

The following datasheet discusses the chemical composition and properties of copper UNS C69710.
