According to AntaresPro.com, these are copper clad aluminum; other sites turn up in google search saying it is a hybrid metal to optimize conductivity--meaning evasive wording to avoid saying copper clad aluminum. If I knew for sure this was copper wire, I'd buy it, wish it was. Confusing information here at Amazon.com, including customer care info which appears to be wrong--truth or consequences? Advance auto rep says copper wire too on the online answer, but I think true copper wire would be heavier in pounds weight than this is.

I called Cuisinart and it is aluminum. It has a coating on it called Xylon.

Not sure but it's not aluminum. It's heavy, not sure about the warranty. But for the price it's worked really well. I've stripped about 40 pounds of copper so far. No problems.

Negative. A magnet will not stick to the bottom, so I'm assuming its aluminum.

Someone in the reviews said that it is copper clad aluminum. That is the best reason for me to avoid it. Aluminium (or for us Yanks, aluminum) is the one metal that I have found impossible to solder. The most durable insulated wire is "oxygen free." That means that the bright, shiny wire is encased in plastic, and if it is copper, I can solder the stripped-off ends to make them free from oxydation as well as a much better, solid, electrical connection.

I dont believe it is aluminum but it is coated with non-stick material so it is hard to tell. In two years, mine hasnt rusted yet

Yes it is tri ply stainless with aluminum in the middle. Excellent product that will last a lifetime.

I wouldn't say it's cast iron, but it is all metal, certainly not aluminum.

It appears to be. It is pretty heavy gauge. Has developed a few small discolored spots from washing, but otherwise seems to be holding up like stainless

No, this is the CCS Copper Clad Steel. Perfect Vision Model ULPVRG6BLK. If you want the SCC SOLID COPPER CORE Conductor search for: B00PJBU4VK

I didn't see it mentioned but almost for sure no. Look for dome transitioning solution to bond the al with cu before the wire nut

I really don't know. It looks like it could be aluminum, but it's very strong, so I'm not sure.

I believe that it is indeed copper. When I put my home theater system together, the strands looked like copper to me.

It's a pro-clad aluminum sandwiched between stainless steel. After over 6 months of use it has preformed better than I could have wished, and at less than 1/2 the price of All-Clad

When I purchased this wire, I read a lot of reviews, and some of these reviews contained claims that the wire was copper plated aluminum. I got this wire from SatMaximum. They claimed it to be copper in the ad, but I see that they must have started over with the ad, because there are only 3 reviews on this new ad, which makes no claim either way on its composition. Overall I am happy with the product, although it does appear to have a silvery core, which may be aluminum...

Not at all. It believe it is brass coated copper. I am very satisfied with it. The washers are Delta and are very common part found at Home Depot and Lowes.
