Advantages of Nickel Strip

    • Highest degree of electrical conductivity
    Data Sheet 
    • Homogeneity, microcleanliness, and close composition control to enhance weldability
    Data Sheet 
    • Lowest electrical resistivity available in pure nickel strip
    Data Sheet 
    • Low levels of surface oxides to reduce die wear and provide excellent solderability
    Data Sheet 

The processing of these materials begins with the consolidation of powder through a roll compaction process and followed by a controlled atmosphere sintering. Further reduction of the material is performed solely under cold working temperatures to reduce the introduction of non-metallics and annealing is performed under controlled atmospheres.

AMETEK Strip Products are produced in ranges between .002” (0.05mm) and .080” (2.03mm) thicknesses in a full range of tempers and widths to 22” (558.8mm) while maintaining special capabilities to produce materials outside of these ranges for special applications.

  • This process lends itself to the production of small but easily reproducible lots of highly specialized alloys targeted for specialized applications at competitive prices.

    The purity of the material ensures low levels of non-metallic inclusions including oxides. This condition improves tool and die life during processing as well as reducing the likelihood of opening during draw operations.
