EC Grade Aluminium Rod

EC (Electrical Conductivity) Grade Aluminium Rod is primarily used in the electrical industry due to its superior conductivity and mechanical strength. It is manufactured using high-purity aluminium (typically 99.5% or higher), ensuring low resistivity and high efficiency in power transmission.

Key Properties:

• High electrical conductivity (up to 61% IACS).
• Low weight compared to copper, making it ideal for overhead power transmission.
• Corrosion-resistant, ensuring durability in harsh environments.
• Excellent thermal conductivity for heat dissipation.
• Easy to machine, weld, and fabricate.

Applications:

• Overhead power transmission lines.
• Bus bars in electrical panels.
• Transformers and conductors.
• Electrical cables and wiring systems.

CG Grade Aluminium Rod

CG (Commercial Grade) Aluminium Rod is used in general industrial applications where electrical conductivity is not the primary requirement. It is made from high-quality aluminium but may contain small amounts of alloying elements to improve mechanical strength and machinability.

Key Properties:

• Moderate electrical conductivity, making it suitable for non-electrical applications.
• Higher mechanical strength than EC Grade.
• Good corrosion resistance and durability.
• Easily machinable and formable for various manufacturing processes.

Applications:

• Manufacturing of rivets, fasteners, and industrial components.
• Automotive and aerospace industries.
• Construction and structural applications.
• Heat exchangers and mechanical parts.

Benefits of Aluminium Rods (EC & CG Grade)

1. Lightweight & Durable: Aluminium is significantly lighter than copper and other metals, reducing structural load.
2. Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for outdoor and industrial applications.
3. High Conductivity: EC Grade is particularly beneficial for power transmission and electrical applications.
4. Cost-Effective: More affordable than copper while maintaining excellent performance.
5. Recyclability: Aluminium is 100% recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
