Hmmm...copper "is" a metal. Are you looking for a comparison between pure copper and various alloys made with copper?

Copper is a better conductor of heat than steel.


What are the differences in conductivity between steel and copper?

Steel has lower conductivity compared to copper. Copper is a better conductor of electricity than steel due to its higher conductivity properties.


Is aluminium better than steel to conduct electricity?

Aluminum is not as good a conductor of electricity as copper or silver, but it is better than steel. Aluminum's conductivity is around 61% that of copper, whereas steel's conductivity is much lower. Therefore, aluminum is a more suitable choice than steel for conducting electricity, especially in certain applications where weight and cost are considerations.

Is gold a better conductor than steel?

No, gold is not a better conductor than steel. Steel is a poorer conductor of electricity compared to gold. Gold is an excellent conductor of electricity due to its high conductivity and low resistance.


How much better is the thermal conductivity of a copper pot compared to a steel pot?

Copper is a much better conductor of heat than steel. This is why stainless steel cookware is clad in copper; it gets the heat in more effectively. Regarding a copper pot compared to a steel pot - I don't think anyone makes solid copper cookware. It leave a strange metallic taste in the mouth.


Why is copper a better heat conductor than steel?

Only at low temperatures, at higher temperatures copper wouldn't be a better heat conductor than steel. The spring force is much tighter in the steel because its melting point is much higher, but at low temperatures its because it models something, like a rollercoaster, but no. Also Copper is more magnetic with its audience, which is the way. To test this out get some boiling water in a beaker and attach thermometer to the copper and steel and see which one heats up first.
