Description

Tata Steel offers a range of cold-rolled steel strip products electroplated with copper. These high-performance products are a cost-effective alternative to solid copper.


Used extensively in the electrical and automotive industries, our copper-plated steel delivers benefits for your products and processes. To help you optimize your operations, we can also customize our pre-plated products to meet your specific requirements.


The copper layer offers high electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It is also highly scratch-resistant – making our products suitable for decorative casings in addition to functional components. Our pre-plated strip comes in a choice of surface finish to suit your application.


The consistent quality and tight tolerances of Tata Steel’s pre-plated strip ensure reliable processing. The copper layer acts as a lubricant for outstanding formability. Our products offer good brazing properties. They also provide an excellent substrate for post-plating. As an added benefit, we can tailor the chemical composition, mechanical properties and plating thickness to meet your specific product and process needs.


Main benefits of our copper-plated steel include:
  • end-products of consistent and reliable quality
  • improved end-product performance
  • trouble-free, repeatable processing
  • minimized waste
  • extended tool life
  • control of substrate and base metal properties
