Copper

Copper is a metal that man has been using almost since the beginning of time: copper objects have been found that date back to 8700 BC

Copper is a pink or reddish metal with very high electrical and thermal conductivity, second only to silver. It is very resistant to corrosion and is non-magnetic.

It is easy to work with, extremely ductile and malleable, but does not lend itself to machining with chip removal, because it has a rather pasty consistency. It can be easily recycled and its scrap has a high recycling value. It is combined with other metals to form several other metallic alloys, the most common ones being bronze and brass, combined with tin and zinc, respectively. Among others, cupronickel and aluminium bronze. 

Copper is also bacteriostatic, i.e. fights the growth of bacteria on its surface.
