Copper Clad Steel |
| Copper Clad Steel |
| Copper clad steel is available with either 30% or 40% conductivity in two tempers -soft and as drawn. Copper clad steel is used where the conductivity of copper and strength of steel are desired. Copper clad steel can be produced bare or electroplated with gold, silver, tin, solder, and nickel. |
