Hydrostatic Extrusions Ltd

Four decades of experience with co-extruded metal composites have made Bruker Hydrostatic Extrusions the leading manufacturer of top-grade copper-clad aluminium (CCA) electrical conductors. Under the brand name Cuponal, Bruker Hydrostatic Extrusions supplies bi-metal busbars, rods, profiles, and wire with a seamless high conductivity copper outer cladding that is high-pressure-bonded to an electrical grade aluminium core. Cuponal products offer decisive advantages for industries where price and weight are critical, such as equipment for electric power distribution, automation and control centers, renewable energy electrical inverters, and electrical components for aerospace, railway, and marine applications. In addition, Cuponal products offer unique bimetallic connection properties not available with other materials. Advantages: 60% lower weight compared to copper conductors Up to 40% cost reduction compared to copper conductors 60% lower surface contact resistance compared to aluminium conductors Reduced freight costs compared to copper conductors Reduced susceptibility to raw material price fluctuations Simplified electrical connections between aluminium and copper components Materials extruded by our hydrostatic extrusion process have performance parameters that are not achievable by any other extrusion method, opening up a performance-enhancing/cost-saving route for equipment and product designers.
