John Ferreol Monnot, metallurgist, the inventor of the first successful process for manufacturing 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 utilities, drop wire of telephone cables,[1] and inner conductor of coaxial cables, including thin hookup cables like RG-174 and CATV cable. It is also used in some antennas for RF conducting wires.
History

The first recorded attempt to make copper clad steel wire took place in the early 1860s.[2] Although for over 100 years people had been suggesting various ways of uniting copper and steel, it was not until the period mentioned that Farmer and Milliken tried wrapping a strip of copper about a steel wire. American engineers in 1883 and again in the 1890s made attempts to produce a copper-steel wire, in one instance at least, by electroplating copper on steel.[1]
The Duplex Metals Co. traces its beginning to John Ferreol Monnot between 1900 and 1905. He had been very interested in the work of Mr. Martin in Paris.
Uses

Copper-clad steel wire find applications in grounding, connection of ground rods to metallic structures, ground grid meshes, substations, power installations, and lightning arresters. This wire is also sometimes used for power transmission.
Copper coated welding wire has become common since wire welding equipment has become popular.
Copper-clad steel is occasionally used for making durable radio antennas, where its HF conductivity is nearly identical to a same-diameter solid copper conductor. It is most often used in antennas with long spans of unsupported wire, which need extra strength to withstand high tension which would cause solid copper or aluminum wire to break or stretch excessively.

The main properties of these conductors include:
Advantages

Since the outer conductor layer is low-impedance copper, and only the center is higher impedance steel, the skin effect gives RF transmission lines with heavy copper-cladding a low impedance at high frequencies, equivalent to that of a solid copper wire.
Tensile strength of copper-clad steel conductors is greater than that of ordinary copper conductors permitting greater span lengths than with copper.
Another advantage is that smaller diameter copper-clad steel conductors may be used in coaxial cables, permitting higher impedance and smaller cable diameter than with copper conductors of similar strength.
Due to the inseparable union of the two metals and the low amount of the more costly one, it deters theft since copper recovery is impractical and thus has very little scrap value.
Installations with copper-clad steel conductors are generally accepted as fulfilling the legal specifications for a good electrical ground. For this reason its use is preferred by industrial companies and utilities when cost is a concern.

it is made of composite materials manufactured by attaching stainless steel, aluminium, or other cladding materials to both or one sides of a (base metal) low-alloy or carbon plate . Clad steel plate combines the strength of a structural element (base metal) with heat and corrosion resistance (cladding material).
Cladding materials:
A clad plate is a metal that is formed with the combination of two or more metals followed by bonding them together. The Clad Steel Plate can be produced with different metal grades having different qualities and features. The plate is generally formed as metals are extruded in dies and pressured to form a single metal piece. A Clad Wear Plate is resistant to abrasion and stress. These plates showcase superior hardness and prevent the formation of dents or any impact damage on the metal grade.
Stainless steel is the most sought-after material in the industry. The Stainless Steel Clad Plate is designed with a minimum of 11% chromium, giving it enhanced resistance to corrosive media. The versatile grade of plates can work well across different pressure and temperature setups without being damaged due to harsh conditions. A Titanium Clad Steel Plate is a very strong grade that is 40% lighter than most grades of steel. The lightweight modules showcase superior corrosion resistance properties and can withstand a wide spectrum of stress-induced setups. We are amongst the top Clad Plate Manufacturers who believe in quality over anything.
These plates are designed with the best raw materials and latest technology under the guidance of our esteemed workers. All the components of the Cladded Plates can be customized in different shapes and sizes to meet all customer requirements.
An Aluminum Clad Steel Plate is coated with an aluminum-silicon alloy creating a metallurgical bond between the metal. These plates work well in moderately high temperatures and in sub-zero temperatures. Copper Clad Steel Plate is mixed with steel to enhance the functionality of the plate. These plates have exceptional chemical properties that help them fight corrosive media. Our institution is a Clad Steel Plate Supplier who have links with different supply chain and logistical systems, allowing us to transport products within a short period.
