Copper stands as a pivotal metal in the marine industry, playing a crucial role in enhancing the strength and durability of various components and hardware. Notably, bronze, composed of 86–88% copper, emerges as a highly recommended copper alloy for manufacturing marine hardware. Its versatility and resistance to biofouling, particularly macrofouling, position bronze as an ideal choice. Several copper-bronze alloy groups are employed to produce marine hardware, including Cu-Sn-P (phosphor bronze), Cu-Sn-Zn (gunmetal), Cu-Al (aluminum bronze/nickel aluminum bronze), and Cu-Si (silicon bronze).
Nickel aluminum bronze, a vital subset of copper-bronze alloys, finds extensive applications in marine defense, particularly in the production of submarines. This alloy is utilized in various critical components such as valve systems, seawater piping, weapon handling systems, sonar equipment, flexible couplings, hydraulic valves and bearings, seawater external hatches, fasteners and sealing flanges, propulsion equipment, periscope assemblies, and low noise propellers. The remarkable properties of nickel aluminum bronzes, including non-sparking attributes, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high impact strength, contribute to its increasing adoption in marine defense applications.
The anti-damping property of bronze, twice that of steel, is particularly significant in submarines, enabling silent operations by suppressing sound. The wear resistance and non-sparkling nature of bronze further facilitate the smooth and efficient operation of weapon handling systems. Different types of bronzes, such as UK Def Stan 02-747 Parts 1-4 (cast), UK Def Stan 02-833 (wrought), and ASTM B150 C63200, are utilized in marine defense hardware, each tailored to specific requirements.
The growth of the marine defense industry in recent years has led to an increased application of bronze in the global market. For instance, C95400, known for its high tensile strength, extreme toughness, and resistance to fatigue, deformation, and wear, finds extensive use in marine hardware like gears, bushings, bearings, pumps, and valves continuously exposed to saline water. Ongoing geopolitical tensions and diplomatic conflicts have driven increased investments in the marine defense sector, fostering the manufacturing of various vessels, including aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, frigates, large patrol vessels, torpedo boats, minesweepers, and air-cushioned landing craft. This surge in production is anticipated to drive the demand for bronze during the forecast period.
Moreover, the marine industry is witnessing growing demand for commercial and autonomous ships, further boosting the need for bronze. Commercial ships such as general cargo ships, bulk carriers, container ships, tankers, fishing vessels, passenger ships, ferryboats, and barges are extensively used worldwide for trading or luxury purposes. Simultaneously, the adoption of autonomous ships piloted by artificial intelligence is gaining traction. These autonomous vessels, equipped with sensor-based technologies like radar, high-definition cameras, LiDAR, sonar, and thermal imaging, reduce the reliance on manpower. Major companies, including Honeywell International Inc, Marlink, Rolls-Royce, General Electric, ABB, and Siemens AG, are heavily investing in this technology, anticipating the autonomous ship market to reach around USD 125 billion by 2025.
In conclusion, the role of copper, particularly in the form of bronze, in the marine industry is paramount. Its diverse applications in marine defense hardware and the increasing demand for commercial and autonomous ships are driving the growth of the global bronze market. As geopolitical tensions persist and technological advancements continue, the marine industry's reliance on bronze is set to expand, presenting both challenges and opportunities for industry stakeholders.

Copper and its alloys are made in thin sheets or layers by two main processes: spiral calcination and electroplating. The report is for copper and its alloy foils. Depending on the thickness, these metals are used in various industries, such as decorative and automotive, electrical and electronic, among others. In these end-use industries, electronics and electricity are the largest consumers of foils due to their wide application in the manufacture of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Among the different types of copper and copper alloys, the copper foil has the largest market share globally in terms of volume and revenue. In comparison, copper coatings offer an attractive balance of performance characteristics compared to other coatings, such as flexibility, conductivity, and malleability, among others. Thus, it is widely used in the manufacture of radiator materials, PCB, and lithium batteries.
The most important market driving factors associated with the growth of copper and copper alloy foils include increasing demand for electronic devices worldwide, especially in emerging markets. The PCB is an important component for the functioning of some electronic devices, in line with the growing demand for electronic devices; it is a subsequent PCB requirement. With the adoption of thin copper foils in PCB manufacturing and taking into account the latter demand for electronic devices, the copper and copper alloy market expects healthy growth to the year 2023. Besides, the increasing frequency of electric vehicles and the recovered stability of the automotive industry in developed markets are expected to accelerate the market for copper and copper alloy plates.

Impact of Covid 19
Small failures, trials, and even bigger problems occur in all lives. However, nothing of this magnitude could have been predicted a few years ago. Who would have guessed that the economy would basically shut down, except for a few essential services? No one expected people to be told to stay home and take refuge to avoid being exposed to the corona-virus or, unknowingly, transmitting it to others. Millions of people have lost their income, and millions more are working at home. These are unprecedented times, but this will also go. Covid19 will not rule our lives forever. Then things will return to some aspect of normalcy. There may be a "new normal," but normal life will resume someday.
The copper and copper alloy foils market has also been affected. Many consumers have reduced buying ratio of copper-made goods, just like on other goods. The economy also has been affected, unemployment increased and much retail copper business shut down. This has affected the overall status of copper and copper alloys in the market due to Covid 19. But many companies are resuming business as usual and with the discovery of the vaccine. The trend is expected to resume to normal.
