What is the difference between hard copper core wire and soft copper core wire
Soft wire corrosion resistance is weaker, hard wire corrosion resistance is stronger; this is because the soft wire is a combination of multiple strands of fine copper wire, the total surface area of these copper wires must be much larger than a single strand of hard copper wire, and the larger the surface area, in contact with corrosive media, the rate of decay reaction is bound to be greater.
