The new wire line utilizes a core of stainless steel, copper, nickel-iron, molybdenum, tantalum, or titanium, shielded by a precious metal layer at least 2% of the total thickness. This construction maintains the performance characteristics of solid wire—such as high conductivity, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility—while significantly lowering the barrier to entry for high-reliability components.
Targeting industries that demand precise material properties, the wire is suitable for medical connectors and micro-switches. The company reports that its metallurgical bonding process results in a smoother finish and higher ductility than standard plated or filled alternatives. The product is currently available in diameters ranging from 0.002 to 0.125 inches, with ribbon configurations offered up to one inch wide.
