Precious Metal-Clad wire can be formulated to achieve specific performance characteristics, such as improving corrosion-resistance, conductivity, biocompatibility, radiopacity and strength. It’s reported to be functionally equivalent to solid wire at about one-tenth the cost, and is ideal for medical and electronics applications.
Incorporating 2% or more cladding thickness, Precious Metal-Clad wire can replace solid platinum, silver, gold and gold alloy wires. Its precious metal is metallurgically bonded to a core, such as copper, Kovar, nickel-iron molybdenum, stainless-steel, tantalum and titanium. This ductile wire is also uniformly dense and won’t crack or flake.
