Market analysis shows that copper rod consumption is primarily concentrated in the wire and cable sector. Power cables are the largest consumer of copper rods, accounting for approximately 32%, including overhead conductors and building wiring; followed by electrical equipment cables, accounting for about 26%, such as motor and transformer winding wires (electromagnetic wires); electronic and communication cables, winding wires, and bare copper wires account for the remaining 42%.
1. Power Industry: Oxygen-free copper rods are used in applications with strict resistivity requirements, such as transformer windings and high-precision electromagnetic wires.
2. Electronics Industry: Utilizing the processing advantages of oxygen-free copper rods, micro-fine electronic wires are produced.
3. Construction and Automotive Industries: Due to their cost advantages, low-oxygen copper rods are widely used in large-scale products such as power cables and automotive wiring harnesses.
