Copper Clad Steel

Copper-clad steel ( CCS ) is a bi-metallic product, used in the wire industry that combines the high mechanical strength of steel with the conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper.

The application uses for CCS span over many different areas from industrial, medical & instrumentation.

Base Metals Offered:

21% Copper Clad Steel
30% Copper Clad Steel ( Low Carbon or HS)
40% Copper Clad Steel ( Low Carbon or EHS )
10% Copper Clad Aluminum
15% Copper Clad Aluminum

Specifications ASTM B227 & ASTM B452

Plating Options Per Customer Requirements

Ag – Ni – Sn

Plated Wire

Plating a base metal conductor offers the option to modify and get the most out of the properties of a conductor. Many applications require properties beyond what a bare conductor can offer to include temperature, corrosion and chemical resistance. The most used plating applications are Tin, Silver and Nickel. Each plating application is tailored to your specific end requirements.
