The fourth
best conductor of electricity (behind silver, gold, and copper), California
Fine Wire’s aluminum wire is used in many
applications such as implanted cardiac devices, drift chambers, and
semiconductor interconnects. The largest single use of aluminum wire and rod is
for high power transmission lines. Aluminum is only about 1/3 as heavy as
copper but has about 60% of its electrical conductivity.
Aluminum is
alloyed with other elements to improve specific properties such as strength or
elasticity. California Fine Wire supplies aluminum alloyed with elements such
as silicon, manganese, chromium, zinc, magnesium, and copper. Aluminum 1%
Silicon wire is used extensively for semiconductor bonding wire.
We can coat
our aluminum with copper, gold, nickel, silver, or tin using an electroplating
process. With its high ductility, low electrical resistance, light weight, and
excellent resistance to corrosion, aluminum wire is well suited to many
applications. Three additional characteristics of aluminum are that it is
nontoxic, non-sparking, and non-magnetic.
California
Fine Wire can draw aluminum alloys to diameters as small as 0.0005” and can
supply the wire in various configurations, such as flat wire or stranded, and
we can insulate your wire with various enamel materials or PTFE.
Whether you
require ribbon or round in either high purity aluminum, or alloyed with another
metal, call on California Fine Wire to handle your aluminum wire needs.
