Copper; refined and copper alloys, unwrought
In plain English
This category covers copper and its alloys in raw, unworked forms. The items are split into refined copper products, such as cathodes, wire-bars, and billets, which are further divided by specific type or grouped together if they do not fit those specific categories. The remaining sections address various copper alloys, including brass based on copper and zinc, bronze based on copper and tin, and other unspecified copper alloys that are not master alloys.
