Copper


Compared to other metals, copper is very ductile, meaning that it can be drawn through a tiny hole into very fine wire without breaking. Refining improves the ductility of copper so that extremely fine wires can be drawn. Impurities increase the chance that the wire will break during the drawing process. Copper conducts electricity.
