    Brass

    Description

    It is copper alloy which main adding element is zinc. Because its appearance is cover yellow color, it is collectively called brass. Copper and zinc binary alloy are called general brass or simple brass. Ternary brass is called special brass or complicated brass.

    Characteristics

    1. Brass alloy with zinc less than 36 percent is made of solid solution, which has merit of good cold processing property. Brass with 30 percent of zinc is normally used to make cartridge case.
    2. Brass alloy between 36 percent to 42 percent zinc is made up of solid solution, one of the most common used is zinc with 40 percent of the Tiananmen brass.

    Classifications

    1. General Brass: It is copper and zinc alloy. When zinc is less than 39 percent, zinc can dissolve in copper and generate single phase a, which called single phase brass. Brass is typical of good plasticity, which is suitable for cold and hot pressure processing. When zinc content is more than 39 percent, a simple phase and b solid solution with basic of copper and zinc, which are called duplex brass.
    2. Special Brass: Brass is multiple alloys that is added other alloy element into general brass. Common added element including lead, tin, aluminum, etc. Correspondingly, they can be called lead brass, tin brass, aluminum brass. The aim of alloy element is to improve strength of extension and perfect the manufacturability.thtyjtyjt

    Bronze

    Description

  • The Type and Distribution of Copper Mine

    (1) Porphyry Type, (2) Sand Shale Type, (3) Copper Nickel Sulfide Type, (4) Pyrite Mine Type, (5) Copper Uranium Metal Type, (6) Natural Copper Type, (7) Pulse Type, (8) Carbonate Type, and (9) Skarn Type

    Porphyry Type

    Porphyry type copper mine is a kind of copper mine, which can be used in large scale of mechanical open mining. The reserves of ore is up to several hundred million ton. Copper grade is less than 1 percent. According to the statistics of 103 porphyry type deposit in the world, single deposit ore reserves is up to 5.5 hundred million, copper grade is 0.6 percent. Porphyry type is one of the most important copper mine industrial types.

    Distribution

    (1) Circum pacific belt, including long and narrow porphyry copper mine at the edge of North American. For example, Canada, America, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Chile, etc.
    (2) Tethys porphyry copper belt, including Hungary, Iran, Pakistan
    (3) Central Asia-Mongolia, important deposit distributed in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, central north parts of Mongolia, etc.

    Sandy Shale Type

    Sandy Shale Type Copper Mine is referred to strata-bound which in the sedimentary rock in different age. Deposit is produced in a set of sedimentary rock or sedimentary metamorphic rock, which is one of the main industrial types of copper mine in the world, accounting for 30 percent of the copper reserves in the world.
    Deposit has feature of large scale, high grade, abundant associated component, so its economic value is large.

    Distribution

    This kind of deposit is distributed widely in the world, except above mentioned copper strip, also including original soviet union, America, west of America, south west of Canada, and Bolivia. Recent years, the large copper mine which was discovered in Afghanistan and Brazil belong to sandy shale type copper mine.

    Pyrite Type Copper Mine

    Pyrite type copper mine is referred to deposit that connecting with submarine volcanism with large number of pyrite and certain quantity copper, lead, zinc. The West mostly call it blocky sulfide deposit, at present, it was discovered 420 with same kind deposit. Canada, America, Original Soviet Union, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, South Africa, Japan are all the important product place of this kind of deposit.

    Blocky Sulfide Mine

    This modern deposit was discovered firstly ridge of East Atlantic near to the 21 degree of north latitude in 1978. Although copper and tinc has a high grade (copper 6 percent, zinc 29 percent), a multiple metal blocky sulfide deposit was discovered on the ridge, it is 970 length, 200 width, 35 height with 25 million ton of ore quantity. It meets the needs of industrial deposit and the max of copper in ore is 11 percent, tinc is 0.8 percent, including little silver (PPM), Molybdenum (0.03 percent), tin (0.03 percent).

    Distribution

    America investigated continually at the sea area of 13 degree of north latitude and discovered more deposits. They discovered in the sea area near to the Vancouver Island, the deposit only accounts for 1 percent, but this kind of type is very important in Original Soviet Union, accounting for 30.6 percent of total reserves of copper. This kind of important deposit is distributed in: Canada, America, Original Soviet Union, Australia, Finland, of course, our country.

    Other Types

    Except for above mentioned types, there are Pulse Type, Natural Copper Type, Carbonate Type, Skarn Type, etc. They totally accounts for 3.6 percent of total copper reserves in the world. For different countries, these types maybe important.
  • History

    1. Copper which used by human has a history of thousands of years. Tomb archaeologists discoveredthat the Egyptians used cooper products 6, 000 years before in the historic times.
    2. Copper is earliest metal which used by human ancestors. Due to its excellent characteristics and fantastic function, copper not only makes indelible contribution for the promotion of human society but also be invented new usage continually with the development of human civilization.
    3. Copper is both an ancient metal and a modern project material full of life and vigor. Nowadays, human has entered into a society that is colorful, characterized by electrification and electronic information, high civilization, which opening up wider place for the application of copper.
    4. Copper is used by human in the shape of various types of metal, alloy, compound, which has involved into all aspect of production and life, it has become the indispensable and important metal which helps human enter 21 century and get rapid development.
  • Development Tendency

    1. Global copper consumption is still keeping certain increasing speed, but the growing rate recedes. Since 1990s, with the increase of international copper consumption, two types of countries play an important part. One type is North America and developed countries in Europe, like America, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Britain, Japan, etc.
    The other one is Asian and developing countries, less developed countries and areas in South America, such like China, India, Korea, Taiwan province of China, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Brazil, Chile, etc.
    2. Great development strength on global copper mine, but the supply is still tense in short term:
    At the background of rapid increasing of the global copper price and the continual tense of the mineral resources supply, the price of copper concentrate is rising all the way. At the same time of great rise of the ore enterprise profit, it stimulates mine enterprise to enlarge resource development strength, promotes quick improvement of the capacity.
    3. The fluctuation range of the global copper price is great recently: in the past few years, copper shows two properties, one property for commodity, one property for metal. Copper as commodity, always in the state of tense supply in the past few years, the price of copper keeps increasing.
    4. The pace of global large scale of copper enterprise recombination speeds up. Monopoly of mine resources increasing intensifying: the wave of economic globalization has fluctuates to every field, copper industry is no exception.
