Brief Introduction:
The Stainless Steel Clad Steel Grounding Conductor is a bimetallic composite grounding material manufactured with a high-quality low-carbon steel core and an outer layer of 304 or 316 stainless steel bonded through advanced metallurgical cladding technology.
According to the stainless steel cladding process employed, the product is mainly categorized into horizontal continuous-casting metallurgical cladding, hot-press cladding, and mechanical synchronous cladding types.
This composite material combines the high strength, excellent toughness, and thermal stability of steel with the outstanding corrosion resistance of stainless steel against acids, alkalis, and chloride ions. Compared with solid stainless steel grounding materials, stainless steel clad steel offers lower density, higher tensile strength, and reduced cost, making it an ideal upgrade and replacement for traditional galvanized steel grounding materials in highly corrosive environments.
