Copper clad steel metal combines copper’s conductivity with steel’s strength and low cost. Ideal for conductors, relays, circuit breakers, shielding, and industrial parts.
When engineers need a material that delivers electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and cost efficiency, copper clad steel (CCS) stands out. Built on a low-carbon steel core with copper layers bonded on one or both sides, CCS products combine the appearance, conductivity, and corrosion resistance of copper with the ductility, durability, and affordability of steel.
At Hebei Yuguang Welding Co., Ltd, we manufacture copper clad steel metal sheets, strips, conductors, and custom components for the electrical, power distribution, and industrial markets. With more than 20 years of experience in clad metals, we supply OEMs and distributors across North America, Europe, and Asia.
High Conductivity & Low Resistivity – Copper surfaces deliver efficient current flow, with resistivity decreasing as copper thickness increases.
Strength & Ductility – Steel core offers superior tensile strength (250–450 MPa) while maintaining formability for stamping, bending, and machining.
Corrosion Resistance – Copper layer protects against oxidation and environmental exposure.
Magnetic Permeability – Retains magnetic properties of steel, making it suitable for electromagnetic components.
Cost Savings – Replaces pure copper or brass at significantly lower cost, without losing performance.
Durability – Well-bonded layers resist delamination, abrasion, and wear.

| Property | Copper Clad Steel | Pure Copper | Brass |
|---|---|---|---|
| Density (g/cm³) | ~7.5 | 8.9 | ~8.4 |
| Conductivity | Moderate (depends on clad ratio) | Excellent | Lower than copper |
| Tensile Strength (MPa) | 250–450 | 200–250 | 250–500 |
| Cost | Much lower | High | Moderate |
| Magnetic Permeability | Yes (steel core) | None | None |
This makes copper clad steel an attractive substitute for brass and copper in many applications.

Hebei Yuguang Welding Co., Ltd. offers a range of cookware materials, including 2ply, 3ply, 4ply, 5ply, and up to 9ply configurations. We provide various clad metals such as copper clad stainless steel, stainless steel-aluminum composites, and multi-ply circles.
2ply copper clad metal offers excellent thermal conductivity, even heat distribution, and a non-reactive stainless steel interior. This ensures precise cooking, enhanced durability, and an attractive appearance while avoiding metallic flavors or toxins.
The standard thickness for our 2ply copper circles includes a 0.2mm stainless steel layer and a 2.3mm thick solid copper plate. These specifications ensure optimal heat conduction and durability.
Yes, we offer customization options for sizes and thicknesses to meet your specific needs. Free samples are also available upon request.
The 7ply configuration includes layers such as 304 stainless steel, multiple aluminum layers, and 430 stainless steel. This design provides enhanced thermal conductivity, durability, induction compatibility, and a visually appealing finish.
Multi-ply cookware conducts heat rapidly and efficiently, reducing cooking times and saving energy. This efficient heat distribution helps maintain consistent temperatures while cooking.
Our multi-ply circles are suitable for use with gas, induction, ceramic, and electric cookers, providing versatility in your cooking methods.
Our cookware materials are designed to produce less greasy smoke when frying, contributing to a cleaner cooking environment and reducing overall environmental impact.
Multi-ply circles combine the advantages of different metals, such as improved thermal efficiency, durability, and resistance to corrosion, while potentially reducing costs. This results in high-performance cookware with a balanced cost structure.
