Tassel Aluminium Wire

Tassel is the ISRI designation for old mixed aluminium wire and cable: conductor recovered from service, not new mill product, and mixed across alloys. This is the grade that actually covers stripped conductor from overhead lines and distribution cable, material often mislabelled as Talon, which is a new E.C. wire grade. Because the alloy mix is unknown until assayed, Tassel prices below single-alloy conductor and feeds secondary smelting and not remelt to E.C. billet. Supplied free of insulation, ACSR steel core, iron attachments and non-metallics, sorted and inspected at consolidation point.
