 +===== Physical properties of copper =====
 +
 +There are many excellent sources in literature which specify properties of pure copper (with various level of purity), industrial copper wire (winding wire, or "magnet" wire), as well as copper alloys.[(CRC>[[https://isbnsearch.org/isbn/9781498754293|William M. Haynes, David R. Lide, Thomas J.
