Precious metal-clad wire and ribbon are a cost effective alternative to solid wire while offering greater ductility and formabilty than filled or plated wire. Anomet's clad-wire features a complete metallurgical bond between layers making it the wire of choice for many aerospace, connector, medical device manufacturers when it comes to high reliability and high quality. Anomet's precious metal-clad wire is manufactured using various heat, pressure and reduction techniques. Draw on Anomet's 35 years of clad-wire experience to engineer the perfect solution to your wire challenge.
Triple-Clad Metal Wire
To meet specific requirements, Anomet's clad-metal wire can include platinum for oxidation-corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, gold for contact resistance, and palladium or silver. Each alloy can be clad to core materials suchs as copper, niobium, molbdenum, stainless steel, tantalum, and titanium.
