Aluminum Strip Slitting and Custom Rewinding for Cable Armoring
Haomei processes wider aluminum coils through slitting lines to produce narrower strips for cable manufacturing. During slitting, we check the edge condition for burrs, edge damage and irregular cutting. Burr height and edge consistency are important considerations for narrow-strip processing and continuous feeding.
After slitting, individual strips can be rewound according to the required coil configuration. Coil inner diameter, outer diameter, weight and winding arrangement can be specified to match the customer's production equipment.
Aluminum Strip Applications in Cable Armoring
Aluminum strip is used in different cable constructions depending on whether the material provides mechanical protection, a conductive layer or a formed metal sheath.
Power Cable Armoring
Aluminum strip is used as a protective layer in selected power cable constructions. Alloy and temper are selected according to the required mechanical properties and manufacturing process.
Interlocking Armor
Interlocking aluminum armor is formed into a flexible protective profile around the cable. Strip dimensions and coil feeding characteristics are important for stable roll-forming operations.
Cable Shielding
Conductive aluminum shielding tape is used in selected cable designs, including solar and new-energy cables. The required material and coil configuration depend on the shielding structure and wrapping process.
Fire-Resistant and Special Cable Constructions
Certain mineral-insulated and fire-resistant cable designs use aluminum strip for metal-sheath forming and welding. Material selection depends on the sheath structure and compatible welding process.

Related Aluminum Strip for Argon Arc Welding
Aluminum strip for argon arc welding is a related special-cable material, but it serves a different processing function from conventional cable armoring strip. Haomei can review 1050, 1060 and 3003 aluminum strip in O temper for compatible metal-sheath forming and welding processes.
Alloy selection depends on the welding method, sheath structure and cable construction. This material is used in selected mineral-insulated (MI) and fire-resistant cable constructions and should be specified separately from ordinary armor strip.
Related material grades: 1050 / 1060 / 3003, O temper.
