What is the difference between copper bare and copper millberry wire?

Copper bare wire refers to uninsulated copper wire that has not been processed, while copper millberry wire is clean, untinned, uncoated, and unalloyed copper wire that is at least 99.9% pure. Millberry wire is typically used for high-quality applications like electrical wiring due to its purity and consistency, while bare copper wire is more commonly used for grounding applications.

What is the chemical name of copper wire?

Copper. The wire is made of elemntal copper not a chemical compound. (Note the copper used may sometimes be alloyed with another metal or occasionally be a solid solution of small amounts of oxide in the pure metal. This improves the durability and handling characteristics of the wire.)


Are microorganisms used in the manufacturing of copper wire?

Yes, microorganisms are used in a process called bioleaching to extract copper from ores. These microorganisms help break down the ores and release copper ions, which can then be processed into copper wire.
