Bi-Metallic Plates and Washers
We manufacture Copper and Aluminium CUPAL Bi-Metallic Sheets, Plates & Washers using thin copper (Cu) sheet metal cladded on pure Aluminium (Base Metal). Both the metals are diffused together to form an inseparable single sheet, through the process of roll bonding.

Advantages of using Bi-Metallic Plates and Washers:
- Washers prevent bi-metallic galvanic electro-corrosion at Copper and Aluminium joints
- CUPAL is not an alloy with Copper layers electroplated together to the Aluminium. The Copper layer is rather mechanically welded to the Aluminium sheet
- When Aluminium terminals are directly connected to Copper terminals to carry current at a high-voltage, it gives rise to a bi-metallic galvanising corrosion joint, resulting in high heat resistance. These heat joints are oxidised and lose contact causing sparking, voltage dropouts, power loss and failures. To avert such issues, CUPAL is used at dissimilar metal joints of Aluminium and Copper to make similar metals contact.
Industrial Applications of Bi-Metallic Plates and Washers:
- Substations & Switch yard Bi-metallic clamp and connections
- Cable lugs and cable end connectors
- Distribution, panel boards, bus-ducts and bus-bar chambers
- Bus-ducts and Plug-in Busways
- Isolators and switchgears
- Oil and Vacuum Circuit Breakers
- Overhead connectors
- Flexible Connectors
