The use of copper by humans can be dated back to ancient Egypt. Copper was later utilized by the Roman Empire, which was mined from areas like Cyrus. The CDA (Copper Development Associates) reports that close to a trillion pounds of copper have been mined throughout the entirety of human history. The CDA also claims…
Wires are integral parts of most electronic devices. Considering that they are so important, they must be treated with complete care. This includes storage, handling, and receiving. Below, we will be going over some basic recommendation for handling wire that is acquired from LFA. When receiving shipments, you should: Immediately inspect all shipments upon arrival….

There are many different types of beryllium copper that are available, and each different alloy serves a different function. Different beryllium copper alloys are used in demanding industries like automotive, gas drilling, and electronics. The alloy is widely used as a result of it improved reliability, increased electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity. The alloy also…
Although there have been many developments in the world of metal wiring since the 1820s, people still continue to use copper wiring. Copper is largely responsible for the telecommunication boom of the 1870s because of the elements electrical conductibility. Since that time, copper has been used throughout the electronics field. You can find copper wire…
Both copper and brass offer its users unique abilities. There are times when the two metals can be used interchangeably, but usually that is not the case. Making a smart decision about using copper or brass will allow you to save money, have better performance, and increase the life span of your metals. It is…
A standard alloy of copper that is used because of its toughness, strength, and fine grain is phosphor bronze. To create the final alloy, tin and phosphorus are used. 0.5 – 11% Tin. This is used as a means to improve corrosion resistance while strengthening the final alloy 0.01 – 0.35% Phosphorus. The added phosphorus…
Having a detailed conversation about plated wire and beryllium copper wire is difficult unless you are trained and work in the industry. When shopping, it is best to at least have a basic understanding of general terms that are commonly used. We have compiled a list of general words and terms used in the wire…
Operating electronics under harsh conditions like extreme heat could potentially do harm to the overall device. Protecting the wires of these devices is utterly necessary. If you need copper wires in hot conditions, consider plating the wire with nickel. Without nickel, copper will most likely oxidize. Oxidation is hard to see with the naked eye,…
When shopping for jewelry, it is easy to come across pieces that are not made entirely out of gold, silver, and bronze. This technique allows for metals to take on unique properties as well as an excellent aesthetic look. Not only do jewelers use this method, so do many different industries like aerospace, medical, and…
