Roll bonding passes the stacked metals through heavy rollers under high pressure and temperature. For lightning protection plates, explosion bonding is the preferred method. It preserves the full copper conductivity and produces a bond that tested in shear to exceed 20,000 psi (140 MPa). One project manager for a 500 kV substation told me that after a direct lightning strike test, his explosion-bonded plates showed zero delamination at the edges—something coated or ua ahu products can’t claim.
What Is the Right Copper-to-Steel Thickness Ratio?
Industry standard specifies 10% a 20% copper by cross-sectional area. For a 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) thick plate, that means 0.025 a 0.050 inches of copper bonded to the Ōtai uru'uru. Why that range? I raro 10%, the copper layer is too thin to handle surge current spreading without overheating and degrading the bond. Above 20%, te haamou ra outou i te parahi e te haamau'araa i te moni no te mea ua amo a'ena te uho feruri i te hopoia matini.

Many users on Reddit have pointed out that edge corrosion is the most common failure mode for copper clad steel plates—not the bond itself, but the unprotected edges. Seal every exposed steel surface.
Can Copper Clad Steel Plates Be Used in Marine Environments?
ae, with caution. In saltwater splash zones, the galvanic corrosion risk is higher. Use thicker copper layers (īa roa 20% cross-section) and apply a heavy marine-grade epoxy coating to all exposed steel edges. If the plate will be fully immersed in seawater, consider using a copper-nickel clad plate instead. But for offshore wind turbine grounding or coastal substations, copper clad steel is used successfully when properly sealed. One offshore platform installer told me they use copper clad steel grounding plates because they need the mechanical strength to withstand wave impact, and pure copper would deform under the load.
What Sizes and Shapes Are Available?
Standard plates come in sizes from 12 tenetimetera 12 tenetimetera (300 x 300 mm) e tae roa'tu i 48 tenetimetera 96 tenetimetera (1200 x 2400 mm). Te vai ra te mau matotoraa mai te 1/8 tenetimetera (3 mm) a 1 tenetimetera (25 mm). Custom shapes can be made: tapa'o, porohita, or L-shaped for corner applications. Some manufacturers offer plates with integral grounding studs or mounting lugs. If you need a non-standard shape, order early; custom dies may require a longer lead time. For most substation applications, te 24 x 24 inch plate with 0.25 inch overall thickness and 15% copper is the workhorse size.
How Do You Test the Installed Ground Resistance of a Copper Clad Steel Plate?

Copper clad steel plate for lightning protection is not a compromise—it is an engineered solution that outperforms solid copper in every practical metric except raw electrical conductivity per unit volume. And that small conductivity difference is irrelevant when the plate is sized correctly. Specify ASTM B101, demand UT and shear test reports, seal every edge, and your lightning protection system will last the life of the structure.
