Copper Coated Steel Welding Wire

Application

Why It's Used

Tire Beads & Belts (Radial Tires)

The largest application. The high strength prevents the tire from stretching and deforming under load and speed, while the copper coating ensures good adhesion to the rubber during the vulcanization process.

Electrical Utilities (Ground Wire)

Used in some static or shield wires on power lines. The strength supports its own weight over long spans, while the conductivity safely grounds electrical faults.

Telecommunications

Used in the central strength member of fiber optic cables. It provides robust support for the delicate fibers and can also function as a power conductor for line amplifiers.

Wireless Communication

Used as the inner conductor in coaxial cables for CCTV and other RF applications. It's a cost-effective alternative to pure copper.

EMI/RFI Shielding

Braided into sleeves to create shielding for cables and electronic assemblies, protecting signals from electromagnetic interference.

DIY & Crafts

Used in floral arrangements, sculptures, and other crafts where it needs to be strong yet bendable and have an attractive copper color.
