Copper Alloys such as Nickel Copper

Plating copper wire with nickel is a great way to grow your business. As more and more electronic items enter the market with each year, more efficient and effective wires are required to meet the demands of new technology. Copper wire has  established itself as the best wire material for electronic applications. This is mainly because it has high ductility, and it is an excellent conductor of electricity and heat. Copper can be made strong and effective by adding other materials to the copper, which makes copper alloys. Over 400 alloys are available for purchase, and each alloy has its own special characteristics. Common alloys include, nickel silver, beryllium copper,, and copper nickel.

Nickel copper wire is the most practical wire to use when creating electronic devices. This alloy has the highest thermal and electrical conductance on the market. The alloy also is corrosion resistant, has good oxidation, and works well in both high and low temperatures. Standard conductors are most commonly used in high-performance electric cables. These cables used in the defense and aerospace industry. It is also used for business and personal computing and telecommunication devices. Nickel copper alloys also maintain machinability, meaning that the copper wires are easy to work with.

Other options for wires exist, such as zirconium copper wire and beryllium copper wire, but each work best in different ways. Don’t haphazardly purchase wire rope. Instead, make sure you purchase an alloy the is best suited for your device and application.
