Feedstock for Copper Plate

The direct raw material used to produce Copper Plates is refined copper metal. Copper plates are produced via the smelting of copper metal. The availability and cost of refined copper metal directly influence the production and supply of Copper Plate. The fluctuations in the cost of copper due to various factors, such as market demand, supply constraints, and global economic conditions, impact the production cost of copper plates. High extraction and mining levels of copper increase the production level of copper plates. The availability and pricing of copper are further affected by disruptions in the supply chain, such as mining issues, geopolitical factors, or transportation challenges, which impact the copper plate procurement.

The demand for copper in various downstream industries, like construction, automotive, and electronics, also supports the production and supply of copper plates. The utilization of copper in renewable energy technologies and electric vehicles also impacts the pricing of copper. Copper is also used in wind turbines, solar panels, and EVs, which in turn influences the overall demand for copper, which in turn impacts the production and supply of copper plates. The operational status of the apparatus and machinery used for the manufacturing process, such as smelting furnaces, refining equipment, rolling mills, annealing furnaces, and cutting and shearing machines, ensure steady production and supply of Copper Plates.
 

Market Drivers for Copper Plate

The market for Copper Plates is majorly driven by their application in various downstream industries such as electronics, construction, and automotive industries. Their utilization to manufacture printed circuit boards and other electronic components elevates their demand in the electronics industry. Their usage in construction applications such as roofing, plumbing, and electrical wiring, coupled with the global rise in construction and infrastructure projects, boosts their demand in the construction industry. The utilization of copper plates in motors and wiring systems, coupled with the shift towards electric and hybrid vehicles, fuels their market expansion in the automotive industry. The function of copper plates in power generation and distribution systems, coupled with the transition to renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, drives the demand for copper plates even further. The production cost also impacts the market for copper plates as the fluctuations in the cost and availability of the feedstock used to produce the plates, such as copper metal, directly affect the demand and procurement of copper plates.

Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) for Copper plates includes setting up the manufacturing plant, the machinery and equipment required for the production process such as smelting furnaces and rolling mills, along with technological and regulatory requirements. Another factor that drives the procurement of copper plates is the Operational Expenditure (OPEX), which includes the energy costs for the smooth operation of equipment like smelting furnaces and rolling mills, as well as the regular maintenance and repair costs. These factors impact the overall supply and cost of copper plates, which drives their market.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Copper Plate manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Copper Plate manufacturing.

• Production via the smelting process: The feedstock used in the manufacturing process of copper plates is copper metal.

The manufacturing process of Copper Plate occurs through the smelting process. The production process starts with the processing of the metal element. The metal undergoes smelting in a flash smelting furnace with oxygen-enriched air to form copper matte. In the next step, the matte is moved to a converter furnace to obtain blister copper, followed by refining in an anode furnace. Finally, the refined copper is poured into molds on a casting wheel to get Copper Plates.
 

Properties of Copper Plate

Copper Plates are shiny plates made from copper metal. The metal plates are reddish-brown and have a melting point of 1085° C. They have a density of 8.92 g/cm3. They have excellent metallic features such as high electrical conductivity, with a resistivity of 16.78nΩ⋅m at 20°C and thermal conductivity of 391.2W m⋅K. Copper has good resistance to corrosion, mainly in non-oxidizing environments. Copper is a ductile metal compound that is also malleable. The metal is softer than the zinc metal compound and can be structured according to the desired shape and size. It can be alloyed with other elements to improve its strength. It is a flexible and versatile material and can be utilized in various ways.
