Product Overview

This Puratronic™ aluminum wire offers an exceptional purity level of 99.999% (metals basis), making it one of the most refined aluminum wires available for laboratory use. With a precise diameter of 0.5mm (0.02in) and hard temper, it provides consistent mechanical strength and electrical conductivity for demanding applications. The wire is manufactured under stringent quality controls to ensure minimal trace impurities, which is critical for experiments where even minor contaminants can affect results. Its uniform diameter and smooth surface finish allow for reliable performance in applications requiring precision winding or soldering. The hard temper classification indicates the wire has undergone cold working to enhance its tensile strength, making it suitable for applications where durability is essential. Available in convenient spool lengths of 250m, 50m, and 10m, this wire provides flexibility for both large-scale projects and smaller experimental setups. The Puratronic™ grade designation guarantees the highest level of purity certification, ensuring reproducibility in sensitive research environments.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between hard and soft temper aluminum wire?

Hard temper aluminum wire has undergone cold working to increase its tensile strength and stiffness, making it more durable for applications requiring structural integrity. Soft temper wire is more malleable and easier to bend but less resistant to mechanical stress.

2. Can this aluminum wire be used for electrical applications?

Yes, this 99.999% pure aluminum wire offers excellent electrical conductivity due to its high purity and uniform composition, making it suitable for precision electrical connections and circuit applications.

3. How should this aluminum wire be stored to maintain its purity?

Store the wire in its original packaging in a clean, dry environment away from corrosive chemicals or moisture. Avoid exposure to air for prolonged periods to prevent surface oxidation.

4. Is this wire compatible with standard soldering techniques?

The wire can be soldered using appropriate aluminum-compatible fluxes and solder alloys. Its high purity ensures minimal interference with solder joints, but proper surface preparation is recommended.

5. What alternatives exist for applications requiring even higher purity?

For applications demanding ultra-high purity beyond 99.999%, consider aluminum wires with 99.9999% (6N) purity or specialized refractory metals like tungsten or molybdenum, depending on specific requirements.
