Copper-bonded (and copper-clad) steel flat bars combine the tensile strength of steel with the high electrical conductivity of copper.
1.Enhanced Corrosion Resistance
The outer layer of copper offers superb corrosion resistance, protecting the steel core from environmental degradation.
This makes copper-bonded steel especially suitable for long-term use in outdoor and underground grounding systems.
2. Cost-Effectiveness
Copper-bonded steel is significantly less costly than solid copper, thanks to reduced copper usage combined with enduring performance.
3.Lightweight and Easier Handling
With a robust steel core and lighter overall weight, copper-bonded steel flat bars are easier to transport, handle, and install—lowering shipping and labor costs while offering higher break-load capacity than pure copper.
