 Wire
Vast quantities of aluminium, copper, nickel and steel wire are employed for telephone and data wires and cables, and as conductors in electric power transmission, and heating.
The metals suitable for wire, possessing almost equal ductility, are platinum, silver, iron, copper, aluminium and gold; and it is only from these and certain of their alloys with other metals, principally brass and bronze, that wire is prepared.
Another method is to immerse the wire in a copper (II) sulfate solution, so that a film of copper is deposited which forms a kind of lubricant, easing the drawing considerably; in some classes of wire the copper is left after the final drawing to serve as a preventive of rust.

 More Info on bullets - - bullet - - bulleta
Bullets intended for high-velocity applications generally have a lead core jacketed with copper or steel; the thin layer of copper protects the lead core during flight, delivering it intact to the target.
These copper "plugs" are then extruded into a cup shape by the use of dies.
The copper jacketed bullet allows much higher muzzle velocities than lead alone, as copper has a much higher melting point, greater specific heat capacity, and is harder.

The principal sources of silver are copper, copper-nickel, gold, lead and lead-zinc ores obtained from Canada, Cobalt, Ontario, Mexico (historica lly Batopilas), Peru, Australia and the United States.
This metal is also produced during the electrolytic refining of copper and by application of the Parkes process on lead metal obtained from lead ores that contain small amounts of silver.
