1. One of the five major application fields of copper: Copper is the most widely used and the largest in the electrical and electronic industries, accounting for more than half of the total consumption. This is used for various cables and wires, motors and transformers, switches and printed circuit boards; in the manufacture of machinery and transportation vehicles, it is used to manufacture industrial valves and accessories, instruments, plain bearings, molds, heat exchangers and pumps, etc. .
2. Two of the five major application fields of copper: Copper is widely used in the chemical industry to make vacuum appliances, distillation pots, brewing pots, etc.
3. Three of the five major application areas of copper: Copper is used in the defense industry to make bullets, artillery shells, and gun parts. For every 3 million rounds of copper produced, 13-14 tons of copper are required.
4. Four of the five major application fields of copper: Copper is used in the construction industry for various pipes, pipe fittings, and decorative devices.
5. Five of the five major application areas of copper: copper is used in medicine. In the 1970s, Chinese medical inventors Liu Tongqing and Liu Tongle researched and found that copper has a strong anticancer function, and successfully developed corresponding anticancer drugs. “K cancer 7851”, clinical success.
