1. Low material cost: Compared with pure copper materials, copper-clad steel greatly reduces costs by reducing the amount of copper (the thickness of the copper layer is usually 0.1~0.3mm), while retaining the conductive properties of copper, and has high cost performance.
2. Low transportation cost and lighter weight than pure copper: The density of the steel core is lower than that of copper. Copper-clad steel is lighter than pure copper at the same volume, reducing transportation weight and logistics costs.
3. Better performance, the surface copper provides good conductivity and oxidation resistance, and the steel core enhances mechanical strength, which is suitable for long-term outdoor use and is not easy to deform in high temperature environments.
4. Mature process and flexible design. The composite technologies such as electroplating, cold rolling, and hot rolling are stable, and the thickness and bonding strength of the copper layer can be accurately controlled.
