Nickel - plated copper wire combines the excellent electrical conductivity of copper with the corrosion and wear resistance of nickel. The copper core ensures efficient current transmission, while the nickel plating provides a protective barrier against oxidation and corrosion. It is widely used in electronics (connectors, coils, leads), automotive (electrical wiring in harsh environments), and jewelry (decorative elements) industries.
- Material Standards:
- Copper: Complies with ASTM B3 (electrolytic tough - pitch copper).
- Nickel plating: Follows ASTM B734 (electrodeposited nickel coatings).
- Electronics: Meets IEC 60228 (electrical conductors).
- High conductivity: Enables low - resistance and efficient current transmission.
- Corrosion resistance: Nickel plating prevents oxidation, moisture, and chemical damage.
- Wear resistance: Nickel’s hardness reduces damage during handling and operation.
- Aesthetic appeal: Bright and shiny nickel surface is suitable for decorative applications.
- Processing compatibility: Compatible with common soldering and joining techniques.
- Thermal stability: Reliable performance in the range of - 40°C to 120°C (extendable with special plating).
