What is the meaning of CCS wire?

CCS wire, full name Copper Clad Steel Wire, is a new product developed internationally in recent decades and has been widely used in developed countries abroad. In China, although it started late, it has gradually been widely used in recent years. The following is a detailed explanation of CCS wire:

1. Definition and composition
Definition: CCS wire is a bimetallic composite wire that combines the advantages of copper and steel through a special production process.
Composition: The outer layer is copper and the inner layer is steel, forming a unique structure.

2. Characteristics and advantages
Electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity: After CCS wire is plated with silver, its electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity are significantly enhanced.
Corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance: In high temperature environments, the corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of CCS wire are also improved.
High-frequency performance: Compared with pure copper wire, CCS wire has smaller attenuation at high frequencies, lower transmission loss, and higher transmission efficiency. This is due to the "skin effect" of high-frequency electromagnetic wave signals in conductors, which causes high-frequency signals to be mainly transmitted on the surface of the conductor, and the copper layer of CCS wire just provides this good transmission surface.

3. Application fields
RF cable: CCS wire can be used as the core wire of RF cable to meet the transmission needs of high-frequency signals.
Aircraft and medical equipment: In aircraft and medical equipment, CCS wire is also used as a connecting wire to meet the demand for high-performance connecting wires in these fields.

CCS wire, as a bimetallic composite wire, combines the advantages of copper and steel to achieve excellent performance in electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. At the same time, its excellent high-frequency performance makes it widely used in fields such as radio frequency cables, aircraft and medical equipment. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of the market, the application prospects of CCS wire will be broader.
