Copper Clad Aluminum Wire (CCA Wire)
Copper clad aluminum wire (CCA) is known as a conductive wire made of an aluminum core covered with a copper layer of CU purity reaching 99.9%. As the CCA wire possesses the characteristics of both copper and aluminum, this combination provides the conductive wire with optimum properties of both metals, while the wire features less weight than solid copper wire and higher electrical conductivity than pure aluminum wire, so that the composite wire is ideally suited to electrical applications where weight reduction and conductivity are highly required. Huawang CCA wire is manufactured in compliance with requirements of ASTM B566-93 standard.
CCA wire diameter: 0.08mm – 8.0mm
Standards: SJ/T 11223-2000, ASTM B 566-93
- At the same weight and diameter, the length of copper clad aluminum wire is 2.6-3.2 times than that of pure copper wire. In other words, 1 ton of CCA wire is equivalent to 2.6-3.2 tons of pure copper wire, this incurs a much lower cost in the field of cable production and offers higher profits to manufacturer who sells related products.
- Potential theft of CCA wire is less likely compared to pure copper wire, scrap value is almost zero since it is difficult to separate copper from aluminum.
- Unlike the aluminum that is prone to oxidation, CCA wire has better conductivity and oxidation resistance, and easy to process.
- The reduced weight of copper clad aluminum provides great convenience in transportation and installation and reduces shipping expenses.
- CCA wire saves a lot of raw copper resources, helping balance out the copper supply worldwide.
Copper clad aluminum wire features a wide range of usages such as television distribution and signal transmission, can be made into welding cable, control cable and signal cable.
