copper-clad aluminium wire

The properties of copper-clad aluminium wire include:
  • Less expensive than a pure copper wire
  • Lighter than pure copper
  • Higher electrical conductivity than pure aluminium
  • Higher strength than aluminium
  • Better solderability than aluminium, due to the lack of the oxide layer which prevents solder adhesion when soldering bare aluminium
  • Electrical connections are typically more reliable than pure aluminium
  • Typically produced as a 10% or 15% by copper volume product
