折叠根部开裂主因有三:退火不足致金属过硬、折痕折得太死(锐角应力集中)、锤击过猛撕裂纤维。排查:若裂在折根,先确认退火是否到位;折弯时用木方做圆角支撑避免死折;锤压改"多遍轻打"而非一锤重压。含杂质多的回收铜更易裂,建议用标准牌号紫铜。

Fold-root cracks come from three causes: under-annealing (metal too hard), an overly sharp crease (stress concentration), or violent hammering that tears fibres. If cracking is at the root, check annealing first; use wood blocks to support a rounded bend, never a dead crease; hammer in many light passes, not one heavy blow. Impure recycled copper cracks more—use standard-grade copper. ---
