Overhead Catenary System Wires Production

Overhead Catenary System Wires Production

Electrolytic copper (99.99%Cu) is used for the production of contact wires and conductors in Sarkuysan. Contact wires (trolley wires) of various dimensions are produced from electrolytic copper and silver bearing copper rods by drawing, rolling and roll-drawing methods.

Pure copper and silver bearing copper alloy contact wires can be produced according to International standards such as ASTM B47, DIN 43141, UIC 870-0, TS EN 50149 and any other specified standards or customer specifications.

Silver bearing copper contact wires offer high conductivity and high softening temperatures, which are advantages for high speed and high frequency rail systems.

CuMg alloy, CuAg alloy and pure copper conductors which have high breaking stress, flexibility, strength and mechanical properties can be used for all types of catenary constructions.
