Which kind of metal materials are often used for wire and cable? Wire and cable manufacturers, copper, silver, aluminum, gold, nickel, zinc, tin are wire and cable to use metal materials Oh. Below is a detailed description of Anhui Hui Ning wire and cable manufacturers:
Copper: second only to silver, thermal conductivity, second only to gold and silver; corrosion resistance, no magnetism, good plasticity, easy to weld, widely used. Copper alloy is mainly to improve the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of copper.
Silver: metallic conductivity and thermal conductivity of the highest, with good resistance to corrosion and oxidation resistance, easy welding; mainly used for coating and cladding layer; mainly used for high temperature resistant lines and (Note: according to the skin effect principle) with high frequency communication cable conductor.
Aluminum: conductive second only to silver, copper, gold, good thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance, mechanical strength in general, plastic, a small proportion of. The disadvantage is that the tensile strength is low, and it is not easy to weld. Aluminum alloy is mainly to improve the mechanical strength, heat resistance and can be welded.
Gold, nickel: used to do high temperature line.
Iron (steel): often used as a composite conductor of the strengthening of materials, such as steel core aluminum wire, copper clad steel, aluminum clad steel wire, etc..
Zinc: to be used as the coating of the steel / steel / iron conductor to prevent corrosion.
Tin: used as a steel wire / copper wire coating to prevent corrosion, and is conducive to the welding of copper.
