Selection
JSC provides you with a diverse
selection of material to fulfill your customer's custom strand and cable needs.
Careful consideration of application requirements, relative availability, and
cost is necessary when selecting strand and cable material type. JSC has
experience processing a wide variety of wire materials from the common to the
exotic.
Some strand and cable material types and their applications
include:
Stainless Steel
The most common standard
mechanical service material. It has good corrosion resistance, very good
strength, a wide range of alloys and availability as well as being economical.
Copper Alloy
Is primarily used for electronic applications.
Brass and Bronze Alloys can be used for additional strength, endurance, and
cosmetic considerations.
Aluminum Alloy
Is used for
lightweight, low-density electrical conductors.
Nickel Alloy
Is used for a wide variety of applications including highly corrosive
environments, electrical resistance, high temperatures, thermocouples and
heating elements.
High Carbon Steel
Is used for high
strength applications including springs.
Brass Plated Steel
Is primarily used for high strength where good rubber adhesion is required.
Copper Clad Steel
Is used for high strength conductive
requirements.
Titanium Alloy
Is used for light strength,
specific corrosion resistance and biocompatibility
applications. |
