The present invention relates to a copper clad aluminum strip capable of being formed into a tube and used as both the inner and outer conductors of a coaxial cable. The copper clad aluminum strip has a first edge, a second edge, and a middle portion disposed between the first edge and the second edge and being clad with an overlay of copper. More specifically, the middle portion of the present invention is at least approximately 70% of the width of the copper clad aluminum strip. Therefore, the present invention may be folded into a tube and the first and second aluminum edges may be welded together without the copper interfering with the welding process. The resulting tube may be used as both the inner and outer conductors of a coaxial cable.
An overlaid, copper clad, aluminum strip capable of being formed into a tube, having a first edge and a second edge, wherein the width of the aluminum strip is wider than the copper cladding, so that the first edge and the second edge consist entirely of aluminum.
An aluminum strip comprised of:
An overlaid, copper clad, aluminum conductor wherein at least 70% of the outer circumference of the conductor is clad with copper.
An overlaid, copper clad, aluminum conductor wherein at least 70% of the inner circumference of the conductor is clad with copper.
A method for making a copper clad aluminum strip, the method comprising the steps of:
