Metrod (M) Bhd applications

Metrod’s high quality copper rod & wire are extensively used by cable makers to produce various types of cables and are used for main current carrying conductors as well as for screening or shielding purpose.

Metrod is a major supplier copper rod & wire for manufacturing of enameled copper wire which is also commonly referred as winding wire or magnet wire. Enameled wires made from Oxygen Free Copper wire produced by Metrod have wide range of applications as magnetic coils inside motors, generators, alternators, transformers, ballast; as degaussing coil inside television; as stranded litz wire in deflecting yokes etc. Metrod’s copper can be drawn into fine & superfine sizes. Excellent surface quality, coupled good mechanical strength and elongation of its copper wire ensure excellent results with breaks per Kg for fine & superfine drawing and HV counts at enameling process.

Metrod’s copper wire is material of choice for tin can manufacturers for welding of 3 piece can. Despite advent of plastic bottles, paper packs & aluminum cans; tin cans remain a popular low cost choice as a container for many food stuff. Welding of tin can is a critical step in the can making process. The soundness of the welding ensures no leakage or contamination of stored foodstuff. Metrod’s copper wire with excellent control over tensile strength, elongation, dimensional tolerance and surface quality is suitable for high speed automated welding lines that are mainly used today for tin can welding.
