copper ingot

Refined ore block

A copper ingot is a block of refined copper cast into a standardized shape for storage, transport, or further processing.

Ingots are the intermediate form between raw ore and finished products—smelters pour molten copper into molds, and manufacturers later melt the ingots to make wire, pipe, or other goods.

The warehouse stacked copper ingots by purity grade.
