Copper Wire Scrap

Copper Wire Scrap refers to the scrap of copper wires which are junk and dysfunctional wires sold as scrap for recycling and reprocessing works. The sources of such scrap wires could be different. When a short circuit occurs in wiring system in buildings it leads to total damage to wires because the insulation materials get damaged and the wire is no more useful. In places, where there is over ground laying of copper wires they remain at risk of damage due to climatic conditions or sudden fires which burn the insulation material leaving the bare and unfit for further. And in other conditions when the wire becomes damaged or unfit for further use due to some or other factor, they go as scrap.

Metal scrap is big and ever expanding industry where junk metal goods are collected and recycled to make them suitable for use again. Junk metal of one type are collected and put into furnace for melting. The process result in removal of the impurities and pure molten metal is obtained in the end. The molten metal is then shaped and moulded into different products depending on specific metal scrap industry. Some use scrap metals for making automobiles, bikes, automotive parts while others use for making different types of machinery.

For melting different types of metal, different type of furnace is used. The furnace capacity depends on the property of the metal. Some require high melting than others. Copper is a hard metal; its melting point is 1085^oC. Therefore, for melting of copper scrap a furnace with such high temperature melting capacity is used. The molten copper is then moulded into different shapes for making copper-based products.

Use of Recycled Copper

The use of recycled copper depends on the purity of the obtained copper. In some applications, copper of high purity is needed. If the copper is finely recycled and attributed with good purity, it can be used for:

• Electronics
• Wiring
• Transportation vehicles
• Power generation
• Industrial machinery
• Telecommunications
• Roofing
• Motors
• Appliances
• Plumbing
• Heat exchangers

Less pure copper can be used in roof sheeting and plumbing tubes. In electrical and electronic goods good electrical conduction is needed. For that high purity copper is used that will ensure optimum conductivity.
