Aluminum Strip For Cable Armoring

Aluminum strip for cable armoring is used in the cable manufacturing industry as a mechanical protection layer for armored cables. It helps protect the cable core from external pressure, impact, bending stress and environmental corrosion.

For cable armoring applications, 5052 and 5154 aluminum alloys are commonly selected because they provide better mechanical strength and corrosion resistance than pure aluminum series. These alloys are especially suitable for armored cable structures requiring good forming performance, stable bending behavior and long-term protection.

Our aluminum strip for cable armoring is available in 5052 and 5154 alloys, with O and H24 temper, and common thickness range from 0.3mm to 0.8mm. The material can be supplied with smooth surface, accurate thickness, stable coil shape and controlled edge quality to support continuous cable armoring production.

It is suitable for different cable armoring processes, including wrapping, forming and interlocking armored cable production.

Note: Width, coil ID, coil weight, tolerance, edge condition and packaging can be customized according to customer cable production line requirements.
