304/Copper Clad Small Diameter Tubing

Bi-Metal Tubing for Strength, Conductivity & Corrosion Resistance — from International Tube

At International Tube, we manufacture precision 304/Copper Clad small diameter tubing, a specialized bi-metal tubing that combines the mechanical strength and corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel with the thermal and electrical conductivity of copper. This dual-layer construction offers the best of both materials, enabling engineers and designers to achieve multi-functional performance in compact, high-demand applications.

The outer layer of 304 stainless steel provides excellent durability, oxidation resistance, and structural integrity, while the copper inner layer offers efficient heat and electrical transfer, making it a perfect choice for hybrid applications where both conductivity and toughness are critical. The metallurgical bond between the two metals ensures a uniform, reliable interface that performs under thermal cycling and mechanical stress.

304/Copper Clad Tubing Features & Applications

At International Tube, our 304/Copper Clad tubing is designed for mission-critical systems that require mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and conductivity all in one tube. Common applications include:

• Battery and energy storage components

• Medical devices with electrical or thermal pathways

• Aerospace and defense signal shielding systems

• Instrumentation and sensor housings

• Cryogenic and high-vacuum environments

• Electronic heat dissipation systems

• EMI shielding and grounding applications

Our small-diameter 304/Copper Clad tubing is manufactured using a precision bonding process, then plug drawn in coil form, and annealed as needed to meet exacting tolerances and temper requirements. Tubing is available in both straight lengths and continuous coil form, supporting advanced manufacturing workflows and system integration.

When your application requires the unique combination of stainless steel strength and copper conductivity, International Tube delivers 304/Copper Clad tubing engineered for high-performance reliability and precision.
