Copper Covered Steel Wire Plant

Abstract

Copper covered steel wire has the strength and toughness combined with conductivity and corrosionresistance of copper. It is closely plated with uniform layer of pure copper by the advanced continuous electroplating process. The stranded conductors and single conductors are produced in a variety of sizes and types to meet specific needs as per ANSI/ ASTM B227, B228, B229, B452 and BS 4087 for power distribution, transmission and telecommunications. Due to unique characteristics, the conductors are used for single bonds to complete the electrical circuit for long spans crossing mountains and rivers for telecommunications overhead lines. It is also called copper plated steel wire, copper coated steel wire, steel cored copper wire and copper-weld wire in different names.
