Copper cathode

In general, copper alloys exhibit good to excellent corrosion resistance and high thermal conductivity and very high electrical conductivity. Pure copper’s electrical conductivity is so high that many metals are measured against it in the form of the IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard). Applications include architectural uses, coinage, condenser/heat exchangers, plumbing, radiator cores, musical instruments, locks, fasteners, hinges, ammunition components, and electrical connectors.
