CALIFORNIA FINE WIRE镍合金丝

Nickel Wire  镍丝

Nickel is a popular material for wires

because its top layer can resist extreme chemical corrosion, including air and

water oxidation. Nickel alloys are also resilient against acids and alkalis.

Nickel wire is frequently used in products containing electrical components or

those that experience high levels of heat (up to 2,600 °F). The material is

also magnetic as long as it remains below 350 °F. Beyond this point, it will

lose its magnetic properties.

California Fine Wire manufactures

high-quality custom wire products for a vast range of applications and

industries. We can draw nickel wires to diameters as small as 0.0004 inch and

offer various configurations, such as round, duplex, ribbon, or stranded. Our

other wire materials include aluminum, copper, thermocouple alloys, gold,

silver, platinum, and more.

Types Of Nickel Wire

Nickel wires come in a variety of alloys.

The following are the most common types.

Pure Nickel Wire

Pure nickel is one of the most valued

metals in the world. Because of its superior malleability and ductility, nickel

wires can be stretched to achieve thinness that would break other metals. Pure

nickel wires are also excellent conductors of heat and electricity. For these

reasons, nickel wires are used most commonly in the aerospace and medical

industries.

Copper-Nickel (Monel) Wire

Composed of roughly two-thirds nickel,

one-third copper, and trace amounts of iron, carbon, silicon, and manganese,

Monel is stronger than pure nickel. Monel is also highly corrosion-resistant,

especially in seawater. Therefore, this material is popular for marine and

chemical processing applications.

Nichrome

Also known as nickel chrome, nichrome is a

nickel and chromium alloy with varying levels of each metal. The number

following the nichrome type indicates the proportion of nickel to chromium. For

example, Nichrome 60 consists of about 60% nickel and 40% chromium.

Nichrome is especially effective at heat

and oxidation resistance, often serving as the heating element in household

appliances like toasters and hair dryers. Ceramic sculptors, glassmakers,

laboratories, and construction sites also use nichrome to heat objects.

Nickel Wire Benefits

Nickel wire offers the following advantages

to any application.

Corrosion resistance

High-temperature resistance

Electrical conductivity

Oxidation resistance, especially in saltwater

Acid, alkali, and dry gas resistance

Excellent ductility

Exceptional mechanical strength

Applications And Industries For Nickel

Wire

These are just some of the industries that

rely on nickel wire for everyday operation.

Oil and gas: Offshore rigs and

    onshore plants utilize nickel wire for corrosive, high-temperature fuel

    production.

Medical: Medical devices need

    wires that effectively conduct heat and electricity, so they often contain

    nickel wire.

Aerospace and defense: Aircraft

    turbines feature nickel wires because they must withstand high

    temperatures and pressures.

Manufacturing: Radiant tubes

    and other heat treating equipment rely on nickel wires to help manufacture

    metal components.

Marine: Nickel wires make

    shipbuilding and other marine operations possible.

Electronics: Nickel wires are

    essential for products like electrical contacts, fasteners, and electronic

    parts.

Premium Nickel Wire From California Fine

Wire

Because of its versatility and toughness,

nickel wire is an ideal choice for many applications. This material is highly

valued for its strength, ductility, conductivity, and resistance to corrosion

and extreme temperatures.

At California Fine Wire, we manufacture

wires based on your unique industry and application standards. We use only the

highest quality raw materials and strive to exceed our customers’ expectations.

We can insulate all our wire products with PTFE or enamel, and we can add a

copper, gold, silver, tin, or extra nickel plating using our innovative

electroplating capabilities.
