EEAT · Failure Analysis Case Study

Case: European Tier-1 harness supplier

After a field failure of a competitor's tinned copper strand, CladCore engineers root-caused strand-to-strand fretting corrosion and specified CCS 40% with 3 um tin overplate. Warranty returns dropped 92% over 24 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — CCS 21% and 30% are widely used for engine-block ground straps under USCAR-2 with proper crimp qualification.
