On March 18-20, Rosatom Metal Tech LLC (an integrator company of Rosatom's Fuel Division in the Metallurgy area) presented cable and wire products at the Cabex 2025 exhibition held at Expocentre Fairgrounds. The company's stand demonstrated a wide range of high-strength wires with normal electrical conductivity, including contact wires made of copper-niobium alloy (CuNb) for high-speed railway lines, radiation-resistant and heat-resistant wires, as well as extra-thin wires with and without various coatings.
In terms of a set of technical characteristics, such as ultra-high strength and electrical conductivity, wear resistance and heat resistance, conductor products made of copper-niobium alloy manufactured by Rosatom Metal Tech LLC have competitors neither in the Russian nor in the world market. These wires are used in electronics, microelectronics and robotics, as well as in aviation and space technology for the production of antenna mesh and shielding materials. The company's Moscow production facility manufactures conductors from domestic niobium and copper. It is planned to increase production volumes to five tons per year due to the use of the new equipment.
"In the near future, due to the purchase of new equipment, we plan to increase production volumes to five tons per year. Such demand for products is facilitated by the transition to electric transport, the rapidly expanding market of aviation and space technology. Our wires meet market requirements to the greatest extent. We can say that we are ahead of our time and have created products that are 5-10 years ahead of the market," said Andrey Andrianov, Director General of Rosatom Metal Tech LLC.
