→5.1.2 Pure Copper
conductivity which with 58 MS/m (or m/Ωmm²) is only slightly below that of
silver. Other advantages of copper are its high thermal conductivity, corrosion
resistance, and its good ductility. The work hardening properties of ETP copperis illustrated in <xr id="fig:Strain_hardening_of_Cu_ETP_by_cold_workingStrainHardening" />. The increase in strength achieved by cold working canbe reversed easily by subsequent annealing. The softening properties are
strongly dependent on the preceding cold working percentage
''(<xr id="fig:SofteningOfCu"/> and 5.3)''.
