How Raytron Produces Clad Conductors
Cladding combines a core metal and an outer metal layer in one conductor. The production route depends on the material pair and final form. For a specification review, the key checks are layer continuity, dimensions, electrical resistance and bond behavior after forming.

Product route and checks
Scroll horizontally to read all columns. Keep the conditions and units with each value.
| Stage | What changes | What to inspect |
|---|---|---|
| Core and outer-metal preparation | Metals and starting surfaces are defined | Grade, cleanliness and starting dimensions |
| Cladding and forming | A layered conductor is made and reduced to section | Layer continuity, total dimensions and resistance |
| Heat treatment and finishing | Mechanical condition and surface are set for the product | Temper, forming behavior, bond and surface condition |
The material pair and final form determine the route. State each layer or ratio and its mass or volume basis; a temperature or layer ratio for one construction is not a universal process setting.
Inspection information for your product
Cross-sections show the sampled layer structure. Bend, peel or shear checks address mechanical behavior where the method fits the form. Agree sample locations, units and acceptance limits with the purchase specification. Equipment records or detailed process information may require confidentiality arrangements.
