How much do you know about bimetallic barrels?

The bimetallic barrel is made of high purity aluminium with conductivity equal to or greater than 55% IACS, the material of the stem or pin is solid copper, which provides a high degree of conductivity. Inside the barrel contains compound to inhibit corrosion and is sealed by a plug.

Advantages of bimetallic barrel:

• Easy installation.

• Improved productivity.

• Long operating life thanks to superior wear resistance.

• Manufactured with high conductivity aluminum.

• Body covered with tin to increase its resistance to corrosion.

• Compound to inhibit corrosion inside the barrel.

• They can be used in voltages up to 35,000 volts.

• For indoor or outdoor use.

• Barrels with precision design, superior physical and chemical properties to achieve a wide range of process environments.

• Optimum wears solutions with the largest range of alloys, from general purpose applications to the most complex applications for all resins.

• High quality patented reinforcing steel to achieve less inherent stress and better straightness during heat cycles to achieve optimal strength and straightness levels.
