Product Overview
This Puratronic™ nickel wire delivers exceptional purity at 99.995% (metals basis), ensuring minimal impurities for critical applications. The 1.0mm (0.04in) diameter wire is annealed to enhance flexibility while maintaining structural integrity, making it suitable for intricate wiring and high-precision setups. Its uniform composition guarantees consistent electrical conductivity and thermal stability, reducing variability in experimental results. The wire’s high nickel content provides excellent corrosion resistance, extending its lifespan in demanding environments. Available in 25cm, 100cm, and 5x100cm lengths, it offers versatility for small-scale prototyping or bulk requirements. The annealed treatment minimizes internal stresses, preventing brittleness during handling or installation. Whether used in resistive heating elements, sensor fabrication, or as a conductive medium, this wire meets stringent lab standards for reliability and performance. The Puratronic™ grade ensures traceability and compliance with analytical-grade specifications, making it a trusted choice for research and development.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between annealed and non-annealed nickel wire?
Annealed nickel wire undergoes a heat treatment process to soften the material, improving flexibility and reducing brittleness compared to non-annealed wire, which remains harder and more rigid.
2. Can this wire be used in high-temperature applications?
Yes, the 99.995% purity and nickel composition provide excellent thermal stability, making it suitable for applications up to 600°C without significant degradation.
3. Is this wire compatible with soldering or welding?
The wire can be soldered using nickel-compatible fluxes, but welding may require specific techniques due to its high purity and potential for oxidation at high temperatures.
4. How should this wire be stored to prevent oxidation?
Store in a dry, airtight container with desiccant packs to minimize exposure to moisture and oxygen, which can cause surface oxidation over time.
5. Are there alternatives for applications requiring higher conductivity?
For higher electrical conductivity, copper or silver wires may be considered, though they lack nickel’s corrosion resistance and thermal stability.
