Copper clad aluminum is a bimetallic conductor that permanently bonds a layer of copper onto an aluminum core.
It combines the excellent conductivity of copper with the lightweight advantages of aluminum.
Compared to pure copper, it cuts material costs by over 40% and significantly reduces weight—making it an ideal alternative for power, telecom, and new energy applications.

Contact us nowCopper Clad Aluminum Manufacturing Processes
Roll bonding
Suitable for continuous products such as strips, busbars, and foils, copper and aluminum are firmly bonded under high temperature and pressure, ensuring a uniform and dense bonding surface, ideal for large-scale, high-efficiency production.
Explosive welding
Uses explosive shock waves to create instant high pressure, achieving molecular-level bonding between copper and aluminum.
This process provides extremely high bonding strength and is widely used for thick plates, structural components, and applications requiring high reliability.
Diffusion bonding
Involves high temperature and pressure in a vacuum or inert atmosphere to allow copper and aluminum atoms to interdiffuse.
This results in a clean interface, making it ideal for industries with high corrosion resistance and long-term stability requirements (such as new energy and battery connections).
Co-extrusion
Copper and aluminum cores are simultaneously extruded through a mold, ideal for producing copper-clad aluminum wire and busbars, offering dense bonding and high extrusion efficiency.
Copper-Aluminum composite processing guide
Cutting
Saw cutting is recommended with fine-tooth blades and proper cooling. For punch cutting, use flat dies and keep the workpiece level.
Drilling & Punching
Ensure proper die clearance to avoid burrs or delamination. Use multi-hole dies with stripper plates for multiple holes.
Support the workpiece when drilling, exit slowly, and apply coolant.
Bending
Follow the recommended bend radius, and adjust the die’s R angle based on thickness. Avoid sharp corners or folds to prevent conductivity issues.
Welding
Strip the copper layer to expose the aluminum before welding. Use AC TIG welding, followed by sandblasting and copper thermal spraying.
Riveting
Use extended rivets. The hole diameter should be 0.15–0.2 mm smaller than the rivet.
Surface Treatment
Passivation and plating options include zinc, nickel, and silver. Protect exposed aluminum ends before acid treatment to avoid corrosion.
Fastening
Use oversized washers and apply moderate torque to bolts.
