A nickel coating applied to aluminum or aluminum alloy components guarantees excellent electrical conductivity.
Main characteristics:
- Globular microstructure that provides numerous contact points between connected surfaces, reducing contact resistance
- High ductility with minimal residual stress
- Outstanding conductive stability at high temperatures
Applicable materials:
- Pure aluminum
- Type 6060 (AGS) aluminum alloys
Representative applications:
- Low-current electrical connections
- Aluminum-copper electrical links
- Power transmission in aircraft with electrical flight systems and in railway equipment
- Automotive electrical connections
