Copper Bonded Steel Strand

Brief Introduction:

The Copper Bonded Steel Strand is manufactured by stranding a specified number of copper bonded steel wires together. According to the copper bonding process applied to the steel wire, the product is mainly classified into electroplated, clad, hot-cast/dipped, and electro-cast types.

This composite conductor combines the strength and toughness of steel with the excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper. Compared with pure copper conductors, copper bonded steel strand offers lower density, higher tensile strength, and reduced cost, making it an ideal replacement for traditional solid copper conductors.

Characteristics:

1. Manufactured by uniformly electroplating 99.9% pure electrolytic copper onto a low-carbon steel core, creating a high-performance composite conductor.

2. Combines the mechanical strength and toughness of steel with the superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper.

3. High tensile strength and excellent flexibility, suitable for demanding installation environments.

4. Lower density than pure copper conductors, reducing transportation and installation weight.

5. Cost-effective alternative to conventional pure copper stranded conductors while maintaining excellent electrical performance.

6. Excellent durability and long service life under various environmental conditions.

Applications:

1. High-frequency coaxial cables.

2. Telecommunication and network communication systems.

3. Electrified railway grounding systems.

4. Metro and light rail transit grounding systems.

5. Power transmission and distribution grounding systems.

6. Petrochemical industry grounding and bonding systems.

7. Lightning protection grounding networks.

8. General electrical grounding applications requiring high mechanical strength and reliable conductivity.

Advantages:

1. Lower weight compared with pure copper stranded conductors.

2. Higher mechanical strength and resistance to breakage.

3. Reduced material and project costs.

4. Excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.

5. Ideal replacement for traditional pure copper stranded wire in modern grounding and communication systems.
