FAQ
Why is metallurgical bonding important?
It helps prevent peeling, cracking and unstable resistance when clad conductors are bent, drawn, heated or exposed to long service conditions.
How is bond quality checked?
Bond quality can be checked by metallographic inspection, bend testing, peel testing, tensile testing and electrical resistance testing.
Which materials need metallurgical bonding?
CCA, CCS, NCC and other bimetal conductors rely on a reliable interface between dissimilar metals.
