Engineered for consistency, this wire maintains uniform electrical and thermal properties, making it ideal for experiments requiring reliable performance. The ultra-high purity minimizes contamination risks, ensuring accurate results in sensitive analytical procedures. Its hard temper improves durability, reducing breakage during handling or installation. The wire is available in convenient 5m and 25m lengths, catering to both small-scale testing and larger experimental setups. The Puratronic™ grade guarantees traceability and adherence to strict quality standards, making it a trusted choice for researchers and technicians demanding high-performance materials.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between hard and soft aluminum wire?
Hard aluminum wire undergoes cold working to increase tensile strength and durability, making it less prone to bending or deformation during handling. Soft aluminum wire is more malleable and easier to shape but may lack the same structural rigidity.
2. Can this wire be used for electrical conductivity testing?
Yes, the 99.999% purity and consistent diameter make it highly suitable for electrical conductivity measurements, as impurities are minimized to reduce interference with test results.
3. Is this wire compatible with standard wire cutters?
The 0.076mm diameter is thin enough to be cut with precision wire cutters, but hard-drawn aluminum may require slightly more force than softer wires.
4. How should this wire be stored to maintain its properties?
Store in a dry, cool environment, preferably in its original packaging or a sealed container to prevent oxidation or contamination from moisture and airborne particles.
5. What alternatives exist for applications requiring lower purity?
For less demanding applications, aluminum wires with 99.5% or 99.9% purity are available, though they may introduce more variability in experimental results.
