Product Overview
This Puratronic™ 99.995% nickel wire (2.0mm diameter) is engineered for applications demanding exceptional purity and consistency. The wire is manufactured using advanced refining techniques to ensure minimal trace impurities, making it suitable for environments where contamination could compromise results. Its uniform diameter and high ductility allow for precise handling in experimental setups, while the nickel’s inherent properties—excellent thermal/electrical conductivity and resistance to oxidation—provide reliable performance across repeated cycles. The Puratronic™ grade guarantees batch-to-batch uniformity, critical for reproducible outcomes in sensitive procedures. Available in 100cm, 25cm, and 5cm lengths, this wire adapts to both large-scale configurations and micro-level applications without sacrificing integrity. The surface finish is optimized to reduce particulate generation during handling, further enhancing its suitability for controlled environments.
FAQs
1. What is the maximum operating temperature for this nickel wire?
The wire maintains structural integrity up to 1,450°C in inert atmospheres, though oxidative environments may reduce this threshold. Always verify compatibility with your specific setup.
2. Can this wire be soldered or welded to other metals?
Yes, but nickel requires specialized fluxes or inert-gas shielding due to its oxide layer. Silver-based solders or TIG welding with nickel-compatible filler materials are commonly used.
3. How does Puratronic™ grade differ from standard nickel wire?
Puratronic™ undergoes additional purification steps to achieve 99.995% minimum purity, reducing trace elements like Fe, Cu, and C that could interfere with sensitive applications. Standard grades typically range from 99.0-99.6%.
4. Is this wire suitable for vacuum chamber applications?
The low outgassing properties of high-purity nickel make it compatible with high-vacuum systems, but pre-cleaning with acetone or IPA is recommended to remove surface contaminants.
5. What’s the resistivity of this 2.0mm nickel wire?
At 20°C, the resistivity is approximately 6.99 × 10⁻⁸ Ω·m. For precise calculations, account for temperature coefficients in your specific operating range.
