• Copper and Copper Alloy Processing

Copper is the metal that has been known and used longest by mankind. Copper has an enormous range of applications resulting from its outstanding properties as a material. Copper and copper alloys are excellent for smelting, casting and forming. They can be annealed, soldered and also welded.

The welding of copper materials and copper alloys to high quality standards, however, is an issue demanding special knowledge of copper properties, the welding accessories and the processing required. This high quality processing is a standard that has only been achieved and proved possible for a very few specialised manufacturing companies down to the present time. The Steel for you experts have extensive experience in the use, processing, welding, soldering and testing of copper and copper alloy components.
