In addition to the standard materials used to produce braids and bonding leads it is also possible to utilise even higher performance materials such as stainless steel, silver plated copper and pure nickel.

These ‘specialist’ materials exhibit properties suitable for the most demanding applications, such as those requiring extreme temperature and corrosion resistance.

Silver-plated Copper:

For applications needing excellent conductivity at temperatures up to 200ºC. Particularly suitable for extreme aerospace and space applications.

Stainless Steel:

Offers outstanding corrosion resistance compared to many materials, particularly when in contact with salt water and high temperature capability up to 400ºC. Ideal for off-shore and marine applications.

Nickel:

Pure nickel strand can be used at even higher temperatures (649ºC) whilst still exhibiting excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Nickel is particularly suitable for applications in extreme conditions such as welding, furnaces

and power stations.
