What is Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) Cable?
CCA or Copper Clad Aluminum Cable is composed of copper clad aluminum wires which are made from an aluminum core cladded with a thin layer of copper. The copper makes up 10% , 15%, and 40% of the wires volume while the rest composes of aluminum alloy wire.
What is CCS Cable?
Copper-Clad Steel Cable (CCS) comprises of copper cladding with a homogeneous low carbon steel core. This copper-covered steel is a bi-metallic product that is used mainly in the cable industry and combines the steel’s high mechanical resistance and strength with resistance to corrosion and electrical conductivity of copper.
Egyptian Pyramids – the riddle
The 3 pyramids near Giza in Egypt were built 5,000 years ago but there is still a mystery how they were built.
Benefits of Stainless Steel in the Automotive Industry
Stainless steel is used in many different industries owing to its different and vast features. The use of stainless steel has risen to the top as it provides the durability and quality of design elements required in the automotive industry.
Low Melting Point Alloys
Low Melting Point Alloys (LMPA) or fusible alloys are metal alloys combined of at least 2 of the following elements: Bismuth (Bi), Tin (Sn), Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Indium (In), having a melting point range of 11 – 300 deg. C, alloyed by the international producer and market leader 5N Plus, either as standard or custom made according to the customer demand and specification.
Which High-Temperature Alloys are Suitable for the Defense and Aerospace Industry?
High-temperature alloy is an alloy which is effective at temperatures of 500 degrees or above. They are also known as superalloys. They contain chromium for oxidation resistance and elements like vanadium, tantalum, titanium, aluminum, and niobium, which added as gamma prime formers to harden the matrix of the materials.
Corrosion
Corrosion mainly related to metals and alloys is the deterioration of the metal or alloy as a result of chemical reactions between the metal or alloy and the surrounding environment. The environment could be the atmosphere humidity, seawater, gasses, acids, bases, and salts.
