Custom manufactured clad metal wire that can be formulated to improve the performance characteristics of solid precious metal wire such as corrosion-resistance, conductivity and biocompatibility, at a small fraction the cost of solid has been introduced by Anomet Products.
Anomet Precious Metal Clad Wire can be formulated to achieve specific performance characteristics and is functionally equivalent to solid wire at about one- tenth the cost. Ideal for high-reliability medical and electronics applications, it can be made to achieve high conductivity, corrosion-resistance, biocompatibility, radiopacity, high strength and more.
Incorporating two per cent or more cladding thickness, the wire can replace solid platinum, silver, gold and gold alloy wires. Featuring a precious metal that is metallurgically bonded to a core such as copper, Kovar, nickel-iron molybdenum, stainless steel, tantalum and titanium, this ductile wire is uniformly dense and will not crack or flake.
Anomet Precious Metal Clad Wire Products are typically 10x less expensive than solid precious metal products.
