durable copper clad steel
Durable copper clad steel represents a revolutionary composite material that combines the superior electrical conductivity of copper with the remarkable strength and cost effectiveness of steel. This innovative metallurgical solution features a steel core that is permanently bonded with a copper outer layer through a sophisticated metallurgical process. The resulting material exhibits exceptional durability and maintains the beneficial properties of both metals. The manufacturing process involves precise temperature control and pressure application to ensure optimal bonding between the two metals, creating a seamless interface that prevents delamination. The copper layer typically comprises 10 to 40 percent of the total thickness, depending on specific application requirements. This versatile material finds extensive use in power transmission, telecommunications infrastructure, and grounding applications. Its unique composition makes it particularly valuable in environments where both electrical performance and mechanical strength are crucial. The material offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel while providing the electrical conductivity necessary for efficient power transmission. In telecommunications applications, it serves as an excellent choice for cable shielding and signal transmission, offering improved performance over traditional single metal solutions.
