铜的种类有很多，每种铜制品都有它自身的特性，下面就大家详细介绍一下： There are many kinds of copper, each of which has its own characteristics. Here is a detailed description: 铜是一种化学元素，它的化学符号是Cu，它的原子序数是29，是一种过渡金属。铜的最遍及用处在于制造电线，通常现时所用的电线都是由纯铜制成，这是由于它的导电性和导热性都仅次于银，但却比银廉价得多。而铜可用于制造多种合金，铜的重要合金有以下几种： Copper is a chemical element, its chemical symbol is Cu, its atomic number is 29, is a transition metal. The most common use of copper is to make electric wires, which are usually made of pure copper, which is second only to silver due to its conductivity and thermal conductivity, but is much cheaper than silver. Copper can be used to make a variety of alloys. There are several important alloys for copper. 黄铜 ：黄铜是铜与锌的合金，因色黄而得名。黄铜的机械性能和耐磨性能都极好，可用于制造精细仪器、船只的零件、枪炮的弹壳等。黄铜敲起来声响好听，因而锣、钹、铃、号等乐器都是用黄铜制做的。 Brass: the brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. The mechanical properties and wear-resisting properties of brass are excellent, which can be used to make fine instruments, parts of ships and shell shells of guns. Brass rings sound good, so the gong, cymbals, bells, and other instruments are made of brass. 帆海黄铜 ：铜与锌、锡的合金，抗海水腐蚀，可用来制造船的零件、平衡器。 Sea brass: copper and zinc, tin alloy, anti - seawater corrosion, can be used to make ship parts, balancer. 青铜 ：铜与锡的合金叫青铜，因色青而得名。青铜通常具有较好的耐腐蚀性、耐磨性、铸造性和优秀的机械性能。用于制造精细轴承、高压轴承、船只上抗海水腐蚀的机械零件以及各种板材、管材、棒材等。青铜还有一个失常的特性——“热缩冷胀”，用来铸造塑像，冷却后胀大，可以使端倪更明白。 Bronze: bronze and tin alloys are called bronze, because of the color green. Bronze usually has good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, casting and excellent mechanical properties. It is used to manufacture fine bearing, high pressure bearing, mechanical parts for anti-seawater corrosion on ships and various kinds of sheet, pipe and bar. Bronze also has an aberration -- "thermal shrinkage," which is used to cast a statue, which can be cooled and expanded to make it more visible. 磷青铜 ：铜与锡、磷的合金，坚固，可制绷簧。 Phosphor bronze: the alloy of copper and tin and phosphorus, strong, can make a spring. 白铜 ：白铜是铜与镍的合金，其色泽和银相同，银光闪闪，不易生锈。常用于制造电器、外表和装饰品。十八开金（18K金）。6/24的铜与18/24的金的合金。红黄色，硬度大，可用来制造首饰、装饰品。 White copper: copper is an alloy of copper and nickel. It has the same color and silver. Used to make electrical appliances, appearance and decorations. Eighteen gold (18K gold). 6/24 copper and 18/24 gold alloy. Red yellow, hard, can be used to make jewelry, decorations.
