Upgraded High Voltage Artery to Bolster Development and Energy Transition in Northern France
The “Avelin-Gavrelle” overhead power line between the cities of Lille and Arras is vital for the energy supply in the North of France. Next to supplying electricity to over 1,7 million inhabitants and 220,000 employees in over 530 municipalities, the 400 kv line constitutes an important link between the European and French national energy grids. […]
Lamifil produces pre-material for high performance conductors
In certain parts of an aircraft, such as the wings and engines and for certain sensors, the copper wire must meet the highest requirements. For these applications, high performance copper conductors are used, made out of high Chrome copper alloys as CuCrZr, CuCdCr and CuCrAgSi. Currently 10% of all copper cables in modern aircrafts are […]
Advantages of aluminum alloy profile wires
Conform extrusion or drawing allows for seamless production of long lengths of profile aluminum wire on coil, as an alternative for billet extrusion. The key advantage of profile wires is that their shape can be tailored to the end product and that process steps can be emitted. As Lamifil uses a continuous process these wires […]
Saving weight and space in cars with CuMg alloy wires
Copper has been a vital component in cars since the early days. A modern car contains up to 25kg of copper or more, mainly used for electrical applications. The primary reason why copper is used in cars is, of course, its high conductivity. And yet, in recent years, the use of pure copper in cars […]
The impact of CuCrZr and CuCrAgSi wires for the medical device industry
In the medical industry copper and copper alloy wire is used in a variety of applications and devices, including catheterization, sensor devices, surgery robotics and pace makers. Rapidly advancing technology, and the need for miniaturisation and mobility are forcing the medical device industry to look for new solutions to meet increasing demands in healthcare environments, […]
How a large diameter wire makes a difference
Wire diameter and length can be instrumental in optimizing your cold or hot forming process and logistics. A bigger wire diameter facilitates a bigger end product, easier near net shape or less forming steps. Longer wire lengths enable manufacturers to streamline and increase the continuity of their production processes. This results in less downtime or […]
Tailored properties for cold forming application
Aluminum alloy wires – typically EN AW 5052, 5754, 6101 or 6082 – can attain medium to high strength levels. The process enhancements in our new casting facilities offer a number of advantages for cold forming applications. The chemical composition of alloys can be finetuned in our casting facilities to get more uniform mechanical properties. […]
The advantages of Octabin cardboard packaging for drawn copper alloys
Lamifil helps its customers with flexible and cost-effective packaging solutions for more sustainable and efficient transport. For drawn copper alloy wire from 0.9 to 4.0 mm, the hardboard Octabin packaging offers several advantages. These are the main ones: Robustness Thanks to its octagonal design, Octabins offer an extremely solid construction that can withstand heavy loads […]
