ALUMOSTEEL is a bimetallic conductor that combines the properties of steel and aluminum to form a material with the best of both metals.

Obtained from a continuous extrusion process, ALUMOSTEEL can be manufactured with different proportions between the two metals, according to the application and the demands of mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, it can vary between 13%, 20%, 27%, 30% and 40% IACS.

The 13% and 20% IACS versions, for example, are smartest choices to replace hot dip galvanized steel cables on applications such as support wire ropes, stays for towers or ACSR core (ACSR/AW). For other applications such as OPGW cables, lightning protection conductors or neutral distribution line conductors, 27%, 30% and 40% IACS ALUMOSTEEL are the most suitable design options.

In applications such as neutral or phase conductors on distribution lines, another advantage of ALUMOSTEEL is the non scrap value making it a definitive theft deterrent alternative solution for aluminum theft.
