Pure Nickel Wire (0.025 mm Diameter)

Pure Nickel Wire (0.025 mm Diameter) – Overview and Specifications

Material and Composition:

• Material: Pure Nickel (typically >99.9% purity)

• Key Properties:

• Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to oxidation and many corrosive environments

• Ductility: High ductility allows it to be drawn into extremely fine diameters

Physical Specifications:

• Diameter: 0.025 mm (25 micrometers)

• Wire Gauge: Extremely fine; roughly equivalent to ultra-high gauge (often in the 60+ AWG range)

Thermal & Electrical Properties:

• Melting Point: Approximately 1455°C (2651°F)

• Electrical Conductivity:

• Lower than copper; typically around 20–25% of the International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS)

• Suitable for applications where moderate conductivity is acceptable in exchange for its other properties

• Thermal Conductivity: Moderate, aiding in stable performance in temperature-sensitive environments

Mechanical Properties:

• Tensile Strength: Adequate for fine wire applications, though lower than that of thicker nickel wires
