Solid High Purity Nickel Wire – Ideal for Industrial Applications
Overview
Solid high purity nickel wire for industrial applications — available in catalog grades N4 (≥99.9% Ni+Co), N6 (≥99.5% Ni+Co), Ni201 (≥99.0% Ni) and Ni200 (≥99.2% Ni), in diameters from 0.025 mm to 10 mm. Drawn to tolerance with a clean, bright surface, with low electrical resistivity of 0.096 μΩ·m and tensile strength of ≥462 MPa (annealed) — from our ISO 9001 certified nickel-only line, 5 kg MOQ, 3-7 day delivery for small lots.
Product Overview
Our solid nickel wire is manufactured from high-purity nickel in the catalog grades above, processed through melting, refining and drawing to guarantee uniform composition and consistent mechanical properties. The wire combines strength, corrosion resistance and high conductivity, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications where reliability is the first requirement.
Material Composition
The core of this product is high-purity nickel; grade selection (N4, N6, Ni201 or Ni200) follows the application requirement, and chemical composition per grade is confirmed with the EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
Key Characteristics
- High purity — N4 ≥99.9% Ni+Co / N6 ≥99.5% / Ni201 ≥99.0% / Ni200 ≥99.2%
- Corrosion resistance — stable in caustic alkalis and hydrofluoric acid environments
- High temperature tolerance — melting point of 1435-1446 °C; Curie temperature of 358 °C
- Good ductility and formability — elongation ≥35% (annealed)
- Low electrical resistivity — 0.096 μΩ·m (20 °C)
- Resistance to oxidation in service
Diameter Range
- 0.025-10 mm (per catalog); micro wire from 0.025 mm
- Custom diameters and tolerances per drawing, locked in the batch record
Pain Points & Solutions
- Unstable quality — solved by strict raw-material selection and per-batch composition analysis on our own line.
- Corrosion failures — solved by grade-purity control for caustic and hydrofluoric service.
- Inconsistent mechanical properties — solved by controlled drawing and annealing with per-batch gauging.
- Delivery delays — solved by in-stock common grades with 3-7 day small-lot delivery.
