Copper Machiningcopper machined partIt takes an uncommon amount of knowledge and experience to develop a thoroughly reliable supply chain for copper components. That's why leading manufacturers turn to Cox Manufacturing for copper machining that delivers both needed quantities and essential quality without fail. Copper Machining AdvantagesAs the premier copper machining suppliers, Cox Manufacturing knows the many benefits behind copper machined parts. Copper is known for being the best electrical conductor while having a relatively low cost! Cox professionals find that copper CNC machining is a smooth, easy process because copper is a good heat conductor that is easy to shape. Copper also has high corrosion resistance properties to rust making copper machined parts popular for electrical applications.Applications for Machined Copper PartsCox Manufacturing recommends several applications for copper parts and components. Machined copper parts are suitable for engineering applications because of its corrosion resistant and thermal conductivity properties! Some engineering applications for machined copper parts include: valves, hydraulic tubing, radiators, and much more. Also, copper machining is suitable for electrical applications because of copper's electrical conductivity property. Machining copper for electrical applications is used mostly in the automotive industry for radiators, cooling systems, and even heat exchangers. Furthermore, there are also environmental applications that require copper machining products including coastal power systems and plumbing systems!
