In the second part of our ongoing Supermetals series, we address some of the most common corrosion-related questions about Copper-Clad Steel (CCS) conductors. Copper-Clad Steel (CCS) conductors are known for their steel core, which provides enhanced strength. However, one question often arises: How can steel, a metal prone to rust, resist corrosion when buried underground for years? CCS conductors are metallurgically bonded, combining the best properties of copper and steel. When manufactured using the correct processes and high-quality materials, CCS can surpass the service life of solid copper, even in cases where the steel core is exposed during installation. Compared to solid copper, CCS offers superior break-load strength, greater endurance, and remarkable resistance to corrosion. In fact, CCS conductors often outlast solid copper wire, even when exposed to the elements. CCS conductors have maintained a century-long reputation for durability. CCS's added strength and resilience have helped engineers optimize power grids for decades. Still, some engineers seek reassurance that CCS is safe for buried applications.

In 1915, an innovative group of Pittsburgh engineers looked at the limitations of copper conductors and imagined a way to make them better. Combining the strength and durability of steel with the corrosion resistance and conductivity of copper, Copperweld introduced a revolutionary type of grounding conductor. Using high pressure and high heat, they permanently bonded copper to a steel core, and the Copper-Clad Steel (CCS) grounding products were born. Today, with over 100 years of service in the field, Copperweld CCS conductors — now known as Copperweld Century™ — are legendary for their ability to stand strong against the elements, endure decades of wear, and deter copper thieves.
