Type and Application of Copper Strip/Copper Roll

Copper strip（Copper roll）is a very practical form of metal. Copper strips and rolls are versatile materials with a wide range of applications across various industries.
Pure copper strip has excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, excellent hot and cold processing performance. And it can be welded and brazed. The characteristics are good corrosion resistance; brass strip has uniform color, good processing performance, strong deep drawing ability, easy electroplating and painting, good corrosion resistance and weld ability.

Application of copper strip rolls
Copper strip rolls are used for electronic components, hardware products, radiators, automotive connectors, terminals, semiconductors, buttons, crafts, heat sinks, water tank pipes, etc.

Types of copper strip rolls
There are four main types of copper strips: pure copper strips, brass strips, bronze strips and nickel silver strips.

1. Brass strips
Brass strips are an alloy containing copper and zinc. Uniform color, excellent processing performance, strong deep drawing ability, easy electroplating and painting, good corrosion resistance and weld ability. Brass strips are used in electronic components, switches and sockets, architectural etching, windshields, fasteners, nameplates, labels, condensers and heat exchanges, hardware products and clothing, dials, lipstick boxes, etc.

2. Tin-phosphor bronze strips
Tin-phosphor bronze strips are an alloy containing copper, tin and phosphorus.
Bronze strips have excellent cold processing, electroplating, hot-dip plating and welding properties, high strength, good elasticity, and resistance to seawater and process atmosphere corrosion.
Tin-phosphor bronze strips are used in high-tech electronic fields such as computer CPU sockets, automotive terminals, mobile phone keys, and electronic connectors.

3. Copper strips
Copper strips contain at least 99.90% copper. It has excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, excellent hot and cold processing properties.
Copper strip can be welded and brazed, and has good corrosion resistance. It is used in the manufacture of automotive radiator pipes, radiators, electronic parts, semiconductors, automobiles and electrical appliances.

4. Nickel silver strips
Nickel silver strips also have good cold processing properties, good electroplating, hot-dip plating. And its welding properties, high elasticity, corrosion resistance, shielding and other properties.
Nickel silver strip is an alloy containing copper, zinc and nickel. It has good cold processing performance, good electroplating. Hot dipping and welding performance, high strength, high elasticity, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, shielding and other properties.
Nickel silver strip is used to manufacture structural parts, elastic components, precision instruments, communications industry, liquid crystal oscillator component housings, etc.

Selection Criteria for Copper Strips/Rolls
When selecting copper strips or rolls for specific applications, consider the following factors:
Composition: Pure copper vs. copper alloys based on conductivity and strength requirements.
Temper: Annealed (soft) for flexibility or hard-tempered for durability.
Thickness: Thin strips for electronics vs. thick strips for structural uses.
Finish: Bare copper, tinned, or enameled depending on exposure conditions and required properties.

Selecting the right type involves understanding specific needs, environmental conditions, and performance expectations. Copper strip or copper wire continues to be a preferred choice due to its reliability and long-term benefits.
