Anomet Products has introduced custom composite clad metal wire products that combine properties such as mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal- and corrosion-resistance. Source: Anomet Products

The precious metal clad wire products combine up to three materials to achieve properties such as oxidation- and corrosion-resistance, plus operation at cryogenic to 1,200° C temperatures. Featuring 2% or more cladding thickness, these composite clad products are metallurgically bonded; making them much more reliable than plated products that can flake and peel and they are ideal for applications in harsh environments.

Incorporating a gold, silver, palladium or platinum exterior layer, Anomet precious metal clad wire products' internal layers can include copper, Inconel, Kovar, nickel-iron, niobium, Nitinol, molybdenum, stainless steel, tantalum and titanium. Wire is offered in sizes from 0.004 inch to 0.060 inch outer diameter with claddings from 14% to 38% by weight, and 4.5 microns to 55 microns, depending upon diameter and the ribbon can be up to 1 inch wide.
