Медь is one of 32 materials in this atlas, grouped under metals: history, structure, measured properties, process routes, uses, safety and market — not a product catalogue.

Scores compare Медь with the rest of the atlas on strength, heat, fire behaviour, insulation, workability and circularity. They are editorial, not certificates.

Seven chapters follow. Fire and insulation claims name test families (Euroclass, ASTM E84, ISO 5660, KS F) rather than inventing a single safety number.

Глубокое введение

Deep dive: Медь

Медь (Cu) is a family of grades whose density 8.96 g/cm³, heat band 1085 °C, and fire letter A1 metal.

What “the material” actually is

Медь is sold as grades, not as a single substance. Chemistry Cu, density 8.96 g/cm³, heat band 1085 °C.

This atlas treats Медь as a system: mill route, coatings, tests and the cavity it sits in.

Heat, fire and insulation

Conductivity note: ~400 W/m·K. Insulation score 6/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win.

Fire letter in editorial use: A1 metal. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide.

How it is made and used

Origin: Chalcolithic / industrial electrorefining 1860s, Cyprus / global. The process chapter follows feedstock → conversion → forming → finish → install.

Uses span buildings to defence / safety. Pairings matter: aluminum.

Market and circularity

Producers below are landmarks, not an endorsement ranking. Prices are bands, not live quotes.

Circularity mark 78/100. Ask which scrap, which certificate, which year.

What is the density band?

8.96 g/cm³

How is it made?

Origin story: Chalcolithic / industrial electrorefining 1860s (Cyprus / global).

Can it be recycled?

Circularity mark 78/100 — editorial, route-specific.

Typical melting or failure heat?

1085 °C

What should it be paired with?

aluminum: The lighter conductor when cross-section is free.

Where is it specified?

Buildings, transport, energy and consumer goods — see the uses chapter.
