Copper
Copper alloys have a number of good properties that favor them in a variety of applications. The most common copper alloy is brass, which is a blend of copper and zinc. Copper alloys can be hot or cold forged. These alloys are easily forgeable in many cases and can be machined to final specifications.. - forgemag.com
Pure copper forging has the best electrical and thermal conductivity of any commercial metal. Today, over half of the copper forgings are used in electrical and electronic applications and this leads to a convenient classification of the types of copper into electrical (high conductivity) and non-electrical (engineering).
