Copper wires have a low coefficient of thermal expansion; thermal expansion is the ability of metals to expand on heating and contract on cooling. Copper wires when used during the manufacturing stage they maintain stability and show little change of state when there are temperature variations in the process of manufacturing of materials (Kurzepa, Lekawa-Raus, Patmore, & Koziol, 2013). Copper wires are recyclable and can be used again in the process of manufacturing. Used wires of copper can be collected and recycled for use again because the metal is of high quality and does not lose quality easily. Copper wires are utilized in the manufacturing stage for more than once due to the ability of the wires to maintain their quality for a long period when being used (Yeau-Ren Jeng, Sang-Mao Chiu, Pay-Yau Huang, & Shiuh-Hwa Shyu, 2010).
The wires are a good conductor of electricity; copper wires are often used in devices and appliances to conduct electricity due to the little resistance to the flow of current in wires. The wires are suitable to be employed in the manufacturing stage to connect electrical appliances for efficiency. The wires are also corrosion resistant when used in connecting devices (Kurzepa, Lekawa-Raus, Patmore, & Koziol, 2013). During the manufacturing stage, some substances used may be corrosive and capable of corroding the wires used; wires made from copper are resistant to corrosion and can withstand this condition. Low coefficient of thermal expansion of the wires helps avoid electrical problems, recycling of the wires enables one to save the cost of manufacturing (Yeau-Ren Jeng, Sang-Mao Chiu, Pay-Yau Huang, & Shiuh-Hwa Shyu, 2010). Copper wires being good conductor of electricity and resistance to corrosion increase the efficiency of manufacturing process since the wires can remain stable in the system for a long time..
