Tinned Copper as the other guys have mentioned, we find that about 50%
of our cable comes tinned, especially the larger sizes, we buy up to
70mm sq (00 AWG) for the charger leads.

Our local scrappie doesn't mind the tin coating, just needs the outer
sheaths to be removed so it is just copper on the scales.
