Copper is a widely used material in fireplaces and home heating systems due to its excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance.

However, under the intense heat of a fireplace blaze, copper can deteriorate at a surprisingly rapid rate, posing significant implications for fire safety and maintenance.

The rate of copper's deterioration in a fireplace fire is largely dependent on the temperature and duration of the blaze.

At temperatures exceeding 800°C, which can easily be reached in a well-stoked fireplace, copper starts to undergo a process known as oxidation.

This chemical reaction causes the copper to gradually lose its structural integrity, thinning and weakening over time. - https://ultimatefireplace.com/blog/how-fast-copper-deteriorate-fireplace/?unique_id_eo3gsmkj
