Please answer the following question: I know that the answer to the question "This thing, mostly used as a pure metal, is no longer pure when it is needed for?" is in "The major applications of copper are in electrical wires (60%), roofing and plumbing (20%) and industrial machinery (15%). Copper is mostly used as a pure metal, but when a higher hardness is required it is combined with other elements to make an alloy (5% of total use) such as brass and bronze. A small part of copper supply is used in production of compounds for nutritional supplements and fungicides in agriculture. Machining of copper is possible, although it is usually necessary to use an alloy for intricate parts to get good machinability characteristics.". Can you tell me what it is?
Answer:
intricate parts to get good machinability characteristics
