Copper Bonded Ground Rod/Earth Rod

Electroformed copper grounding rod is a bimetallic composite material, which is a new type of
grounding material processed from copper and steel through electroplating process. It uses low-
carbon steel as the steel core (referring to UL467. BS665 and BS7430 standards), and uniformly
adsorbs 99.99% purity copper ions on the surface of the steel core through electrode principle.
This product has both the strength of steel, constant low resistivity, and high magnetic
conductivity, as well as the excellent corrosion resistance of copper.
The electroformed copper grounding rod is an excellent combination of conductivity and
corrosion resistance through the polymer combination of copper and steel. The specific
characteristics of thick copper layer, strong adhesion, low cost, and convenient construction are
currently the most ideal grounding material. The company adopts a 6-meter fully automatic
electroplating production line, with good technology to ensure the adhesion of the copper layer
and uniform thickness of the copper layer.

1.Copper layer thickness: ≥ 0.254mm

2.Conductivity: ≥ 17%
3.Tensile strength: ≥ 600N/mm
4.Corrosion resistance: Soak in nitric acid solution with a concentration of 10% for more than 90 hours, and the corrosion
must not lose weight ≥ 15%
5.Copper layer bonding strength: Continuously heating at 300°C for more than 1 hour before rapid cooling, without peeling
of the copper layer.
6.Copper layer plasticity: Bend the copper plated grounding rod 180 °, and ensure that the copper layer has no cracks or
detachment.
To ensure a high performance of the rod, we have developed system of quality control ISO 9001,ISO14001,ISO45001.This
system covers the whole constructional cycle, from steel purchase to the end of production process, so as to reach
conformity of ready rod parameters with its specification. among others, this system provides tests of the following basic
parameters of our earth rod.
Adherence of coating: is tested in order to check whether the coating hasn't a tendency to
separation when the rod is driven into the ground. It is tested as follows. Pointed rod is
being shoved between the vice jaws. Distance between jaws equals the rod diameter
decreased by 1.2 mm. When the rod has been shoved, the vice jaws tear off the coating at
points where they contact the rod, while the rest of its surface should not exfoliate. Such
an adherence enables performing of thread with rolling technique, after copper bonding.
Copper thickness: measured by an electronic thickness gauge at the points and with
frequency specified in the instruction, which guarantees minimal thickness (0.254 mm).
This thickness enables to perform the thread after copper bonding, so as the bottom of the
thread is covered with copper.

Plasticity of coating: is tested by bending the rod at 180

degrees. Lack of cracks and exfoliation goes to show high
quality of our product. Frequency of these tests is specified
by procedures of the quality control system.

The threaded grounding rod often confuses the thread size with the diameter of the rod.
During the thread rolling process, when using high-performance steel rods for production,
the surface of the rod will increase, so the thread size will be larger than the diameter of
the rod.

The copper plated grounding rod is easy to install, economical and applicable, with a
surface coating of 99.9% pure electrolytic copper, and the main rod is made of low-carbon
steel core.

The standard thickness of copper plating is 0.254mm (other thicknesses can be

customized according to customer requirements).

Copper plated grounding rods comply with standards: BS EN50164-2, BS7430 and UL467.

Cu-Bond Round Conductor

Cu-bond round conductor is the latest type of copper steel composite grounding body,
also known as copper clad steel round wire, copper plated round steel/grounding round
wire, etc. It is made by using the most advanced continuous four-dimensional
electroplating or continuous casting process to cover electrolytic copper with a purity of
99.9% or above on the surface of a special steel core. The conductivity is similar to that of
copper rods with the same diameter, but the cost is much lower than pure copper. The
anti-corrosion performance is much better than galvanized steel, and it has many
advantages such as good conductivity, low resistance, few joints, superior anti-corrosion
performance, convenient transportation, convenient construction, and high construction
efficiency.

The process for producing cu-bond round conductor and copper clad steel grounding rods is almost the same, both using
continuous four-dimensional electroplating/continuous casting processes. The difference is that the copper clad steel
grounding round wires are tempered using a large tempering furnace after being copper coated. Compared to copper clad
steel grounding rods, they are softer and can be made into disc shapes during production, Being able to straighten and bend
copper clad steel grounding circular wires with a diameter exceeding 14mm on the construction site (which is still difficult to
straighten manually and requires the use of equipment such as a winch) is also consistent with the use of copper clad steel
grounding circular wires in horizontal grounding electrodes.

1. Product life: ≥ 30 to 50 years (depending on different corrosion conditions)

2. Acid/alkali/salt resistance performance: excellent
3. Product size error: ≤ ± 0.12mm
4. Surface quality: smooth, flat, shiny, without any external damage
5. Tensile strength: ≥ 300Mpa
6. Copper layer thickness: ≥ 0.254mm

Cu-bond round conductors are divided into straight and disc types. The straight type specifications are generally 6m/piece,
and the disc type specifications are generally 100m/piece. Other length specifications can also be customized.
