FLAT & SHAPED WIRE SPECIFICATION


5 - 25mm (width) x 1 - 8 (thick) E.C. Grade Copper flat wire

1. Feed Stock
Oxygen Free High Conductivity Copper Rods manufactured at Copper wire plant using "Dip Forming" technology. Chemical composition is in accordance with LME Grade A specifications. A low Silver copper alloy ( 0.03 and 0.1 % Ag) produced in Dip forming plant is also used as a material for colector  and troley wire.

2. Manufacturing Process
Rectangular copper strips are manufactured according to DIN46433 using cold rolling , drawing and heating in 3 various tempers - annealed, semi hard, or hard, upon the customers request and further isolation

7. Shaped wire
Various types of  shaped profiled wire such  collector or trolley wires  are also produced . They have many applications in production of  DC/AC motors and trolleys for railways . Almost every shape can be produced under the desired tolerances. The raw material can be either pure copper or copper with silver ( 0,03 or 0,1 %Ag)

8. Surface Quality
The strips shall be smooth and free from grease, cracks and other imperfections.

9. Packing
The strip shall be evenly and solidly wound on bobbins, or in bundles.
