Product Description
When your research demands the highest purity, this annealed aluminum wire delivers. With a 99.9999% metals basis and Puratronic™ certification, it’s engineered for experiments where even trace impurities can skew results. The 1.0mm diameter strikes the perfect balance between flexibility and strength, making it ideal for delicate lab setups or robust electrical connections.
Unlike standard aluminum wire, this version is annealed—a process that softens the metal, reducing brittleness and improving workability. Whether you’re wrapping coils for physics experiments or creating custom electrodes, the wire bends without breaking. Its ultra-high purity also minimizes oxidation, ensuring long-term stability in humid lab environments.
Available in 25m or 5m lengths, you can choose the right quantity for your project. Smaller rolls are perfect for one-off experiments, while the 25m option is cost-effective for frequent use. Need a reliable supplier for lab-grade aluminum wire? eqipped offers fast shipping and consistent quality.
Why This Aluminum Wire Stands Out
Not all aluminum wires are created equal. Here’s what makes this one a top choice for researchers:
1. Unmatched Purity – At 99.9999% metals basis, it’s among the purest aluminum wires available. Critical for semiconductor research, spectroscopy, or any application where contamination is a concern.
2. Annealed for Flexibility – The annealing process removes internal stresses, so the wire stays pliable even after repeated bending. No more snapping mid-experiment.
3. Consistent Diameter – The 1.0mm (0.04in) diameter is tightly controlled, ensuring uniform performance in electrical conductivity tests or mechanical assemblies.
4. Corrosion-Resistant – High-purity aluminum naturally resists oxidation better than lower-grade alternatives, extending the wire’s usable life in storage.
5. Trusted Certification – Puratronic™ is a mark of quality from ThermoFisher, guaranteeing rigorous testing and documentation for traceability.
Common Applications
This wire isn’t just for general lab use—it’s a specialist’s tool. Here’s where it excels:
Electrical Testing – Low resistivity makes it ideal for creating custom circuits or calibration standards.
Physics & Material Science – Used in superconductivity research, thermal conductivity experiments, and more.
Chemistry Labs – Inert enough for use in electrochemical cells or as a non-reactive support structure.
Prototyping – Engineers use it for temporary connections in R&D due to its ease of shaping.
Education – Universities rely on it for student experiments where consistency is key.
Handling and Storage Tips
To maintain the wire’s integrity:
Store in a Dry Place – While resistant to corrosion, prolonged exposure to moisture can still degrade performance.
Avoid Sharp Bends – Even annealed wire has limits. Use smooth, gradual curves to prevent kinking.
Use Clean Tools – When cutting, ensure scissors or wire cutters are free of contaminants to avoid introducing impurities.
Keep in Original Packaging – The spool protects the wire from dust and physical damage until use.
Risk Note
Aluminum wire is generally safe but can pose hazards if mishandled:
Fire Risk – Fine aluminum particles or dust are flammable. Avoid grinding or sanding the wire.
Electrical Hazards – Never use as a substitute for insulated wiring in high-voltage applications.
Inhalation – Do not burn or melt the wire, as fumes may be harmful. Use in a well-ventilated area.
FAQs
What does “annealed” mean in aluminum wire?
Annealing is a heat treatment that softens the metal by relieving internal stresses. This makes the wire more flexible and easier to shape without breaking.
Can this wire be used for electrical connections?
Yes, but it’s not insulated. It’s best for low-voltage lab setups or temporary connections. For permanent wiring, use insulated cables rated for your application.
Is Puratronic™ aluminum wire worth the higher cost?
If your work requires ultra-high purity (e.g., semiconductor research or sensitive analytics), the investment pays off. For general use, lower-grade aluminum may suffice.
How do I cut this wire without damaging it?
Use sharp wire cutters or scissors. Apply steady pressure—don’t twist or bend while cutting. For clean ends, file lightly if needed.
