Aluminium Clad Steel Wires

Transmission Line Earth Wire (strand)

Steel Core of transmission line conductor (ACSR/AW);

Reinforcing wire of OPGW;

Owing to the above characteristics, the ACS wires are edging out Galvanized Steel Wires in the following applications:

5) Excellent thermal stability for continuous operation in high temperature.

4) Lighter in weight than galvanized wire at the same wire strength;

3) Sufficiently strong bonding strength at the boundary between aluminium layer and steel core. It is especially important for high conductive wires;

2) High corrosion resistance due to thick aluminium covering on steel wire. Thus, ACS wires are normally installed in such corrosive districts as near the sea, industrial area, salty desert, near volcano, etc.;

1) Wide variety of properties and size of steel wires, thickness of aluminium cladding. METALONG is able to produce the wires with conductivity of 14%, 20.3%, 23%, 27%, 30%, 35% and 40% IACS;

Aluminium Clad Steel Wire (ACS) was developed based on a new technology of bi-metal deformation. It is featured by the easiness to change the thickness of aluminium cladding, tensile strength and conductivity over a wide range, which has paved the way for a variety of applications. It has the following advantages over the traditional Galvanized Steel Wires:

1- High bonding strength of aluminium layer on steel;
2- Various conductivity up to 40% IACS
3- Zero breakage during stranding
