摘要

Copper clad steel wire is continuously produced by forming a copper sheet into a tube around the wire and welding the copper tube, at the edges, to produce a longitudinal seam. The diameter of the welded copper tube is reduced to the diameter of the wire, and the composite heated to a temperature of at least 850 DEG C, at which temperature the cross sectional area of the composite wire is reduced by at least 10 percent to bond the copper to the steel wire.
