Light Linear Alpha Olefins Are Produces through Oligomerization of Ethylene and by Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis

Copper clad wire (CCS) is an abbreviation for copper clad steel wire, which incorporates both the physical property of steel (i.e., high tensile strength) and the electrical property of copper (i.e., its high electrical conductivity). In short, copper clad steel wires are steel wires covered with copper. The core material used to make copper clad steel wire is generally low carbon steels and is typically employed as either the internal or grounding conductor of coaxial and multilayer cables.

Copper clad steel wire can be electroplated or manufactured with silver, nickel, gold, solder, and tin. The applications of CCS includes specialty resistors and capacitors, motors and magnetic assemblies, and intelligent pressure and temperature measuring instrumentations. The electrical resistance to electrical current passing through the cable when exposed to the electric field depends on the thickness of the outer layer of copper used in the wire. This layer is called 'coating' and its thickness depends on the manufacturing process used in wire making.

The electrical and mechanical properties of copper along with its ability to form electrical conductors at high temperatures make it a particularly suitable metal for use as electrical wire conductors. Copper is used in a wide range of applications, such as power distribution, medical, aerospace, telecommunication, industrial, and transportation applications. For instance, many medical applications involving surgical operations require surgical steel wire to prevent blood loss after surgery. Moreover, due to the fact that copper is capable of providing much greater electrical resistance than other metals, the metal is commonly used in motor industries to reduce the weight and length of engine cables and to enhance the performance and lifespan of engine components.

With the rapid growth of end-use industries such as automotive, building and construction, power generation, and telecommunications, the demand for copper clad steel wires is also increasing. For instance, according to the European Information Technology Observatory (EITO), telecommunications revenues (services, hardware, and infrastructure) increased by 2.0 percent to EUR 59.7 billion in Germany in 2019. In telecommunications industry, copper clad steel wire is used to produce CATV drop cable, coaxial cable, telephone drop wire, etc.
