以(yi)純銅(tong)(tong)或銅(tong)(tong)合(he)金制成各種形狀包括棒、線、板、帶(dai)、條、管、箔等(deng)統稱銅(tong)(tong)材(cai)(cai)(cai)(cai)。銅(tong)(tong)材(cai)(cai)(cai)(cai)的加工(gong)有(you)軋(ya)(ya)制、擠制及拉制等(deng)方法，合(he)肥(fei)銅(tong)(tong)排，銅(tong)(tong)材(cai)(cai)(cai)(cai)中板材(cai)(cai)(cai)(cai)和(he)條材(cai)(cai)(cai)(cai)有(you)熱(re)軋(ya)(ya)的和(he)冷(leng)軋(ya)(ya)的；而帶(dai)材(cai)(cai)(cai)(cai)和(he)箔材(cai)(cai)(cai)(cai)都是冷(leng)軋(ya)(ya)的；管材(cai)(cai)(cai)(cai)和(he)棒材(cai)(cai)(cai)(cai)則分為擠制品(pin)和(he)拉制品(pin)；線材(cai)(cai)(cai)(cai)都是拉制的。

銅(tong)(tong)材(cai)有銅(tong)(tong)板，銅(tong)(tong)棒，銅(tong)(tong)管，銅(tong)(tong)帶(dai)，銅(tong)(tong)線(xian)，銅(tong)(tong)排，銅(tong)(tong)材(cai)料。

銅板(ban)是一種高穩(wen)定、低維護的屋面和幕墻材料，環(huan)保、使(shi)用安全、易于加工并極具(ju)抗(kang)腐蝕性。

 銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)棒(bang)是有色(se)金(jin)(jin)屬加工(gong)棒(bang)材(cai)的(de)一種(zhong)(zhong)，具有較好的(de)加工(gong)性能(neng)，高導電(dian)性能(neng)。主要(yao)分為黃銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)棒(bang)（銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)鋅合金(jin)(jin)，較便宜），紫銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)棒(bang)（較高的(de)銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)含量）。電(dian)解(jie)銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)用(yong)于(yu)(yu)電(dian)器工(gong)業上，銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)排(pai)多少錢(qian)一噸，用(yong)于(yu)(yu)制造特種(zhong)(zhong)合金(jin)(jin)、金(jin)(jin)屬絲及電(dian)線。精銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)用(yong)于(yu)(yu)制造其(qi)他合金(jin)(jin)、銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)管、銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)板(ban)、軸等(deng)。青(qing)(qing)銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)：以(yi)前把銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)與(yu)錫的(de)合金(jin)(jin)稱作(zuo)青(qing)(qing)銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)，現在(zai)則把除了黃銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)以(yi)外(wai)的(de)銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)合金(jin)(jin)稱作(zuo)青(qing)(qing)銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)。銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)管質地堅(jian)硬(ying)，不易(yi)腐(fu)蝕，且耐高溫(wen)、耐高壓，銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)排(pai)單價(jia)，可在(zai)多種(zhong)(zhong)不銅(tong)(tong)(tong)(tong)類型的(de)環境中使用(yong)。

黃(huang)銅(tong)(tong)(tong)排的(de)導電、導熱性能比(bi)不(bu)上銅(tong)(tong)(tong)線。就(jiu)硬度而言，銅(tong)(tong)(tong)排的(de)價格，紫(zi)銅(tong)(tong)(tong)排比(bi)銅(tong)(tong)(tong)線差(cha)。紫(zi)銅(tong)(tong)(tong)排和黃(huang)銅(tong)(tong)(tong)排各(ge)有優(you)缺(que)點，但它(ta)們(men)的(de)發(fa)光(guang)點也各(ge)不(bu)相同，它(ta)們(men)能影響人們(men)的(de)生活，因(yin)為它(ta)們(men)能應用到不(bu)同的(de)方面。

黃銅(tong)(tong)和(he)紫(zi)(zi)銅(tong)(tong)有不同的顏(yan)色和(he)質量(liang)。色彩一目了然。其(qi)質量(liang)比(bi)黃銅(tong)(tong)要硬，而且重(zhong)量(liang)相近。純凈的紫(zi)(zi)銅(tong)(tong)，也叫紫(zi)(zi)銅(tong)(tong)，密度7.83g/cm3，熔(rong)點1083度。其(qi)導(dao)電、導(dao)熱、抗腐蝕、耐(nai)腐蝕性能優良。密度為8.93g/cm3的黃銅(tong)(tong)用于機械套管。黃銅(tong)(tong)比(bi)紫(zi)(zi)銅(tong)(tong)更耐(nai)磨損。
