2. Alclad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alclad

   Alclad is a heat-treated aluminium, copper, manganese, magnesium alloy that has the corrosion resistance of pure metal at the surface and the strength of the strong alloy underneath. Of particular importance is the thorough character of the union between the alloy and the pure aluminium.

3. Copper-clad aluminium wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper-clad_aluminium_wire

   A copper strip is formed into the shape of a cylinder, while it is being wrapped around an aluminum core and the edges of the copper strip are welded together. The assembly is then pulled through a die, where the cladded wire is squeezed and stretched while also improving the bonding between the copper and the aluminum core. [1]

4. Copper-clad steel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper-clad_steel

   Copper-clad steel (CCS), also known as copper-covered steel or the trademarked name Copperweld is a bi-metallic product, mainly used in the wire industry that combines the high mechanical strength of steel with the conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper. It is mainly used for grounding purposes, line tracing to locate underground ...

5. Aluminum building wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_building_wiring

   Aluminum building wiring is a type of electrical wiring for residential construction or houses that uses aluminum electrical conductors. Aluminum provides a better conductivity-to-weight ratio than copper, and therefore is also used for wiring power grids, including overhead power transmission lines and local power distribution lines, as well ...

6. Copper cladding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_cladding

   Copper cladding is very durable, lightweight compared to other materials and techniques, and at the end of the building life is also 100% recyclable. Depending on metal prices, copper may be a very cost-effective cladding and roofing material. With good building design, materials choice and craftsmanship, copper roofing or facade cladding may ...

7. Cladding (metalworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladding_(metalworking)

   For example, dimes and quarters struck since 1965 have cores made from pure copper, with a clad layer consisting of 75% copper and 25% nickel added during production. Half dollars struck from 1965 to 1969 for circulation and in 1970 for collectors also incorporated cladding, albeit in the case of those coins, the core was a mixture of 20.9% ...
