PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Communications/Antenna Tower Construction

The corrosion resistance, high tensile strength and light weight of Alumoweld wire and strand and Type M® guy wire make these products ideal for the construction and anchoring of antennas, especially those located where challenging terrain, weather, and atmospheric conditions demand a long-lasting alternative to galvanized or aluminized steel.®

For long service life and reliable performance, choose Alumoweld.

Alumoweld's aluminum cladding - ten percent of the wire radius - provides a high degree of corrosion resistance, resulting in longer service life and reduced maintenance. The dense, uniform aluminum cladding (originating from a high-purity aluminum powder) also provides good electrical conductivity. The ten-percent thickness demonstrates the quality of the Alumoweld compared to other coated materials, which typically specify coatings in weight per unit area. When installed in corrosive environments, Alumoweld provides corrosion resistance comparable to EC grade aluminum wires, at a fraction of the cost.

Choose from a variety of standard AFL Type M guy wires or from an array of stranded cable options depending on the tensile requirements of your guying project.  In case you don't see the exact size/type for your application, please contact us directly for applications support.
