Nickel Plated Copper Clad Steel (Ni-Plated CCS) wire is a composite wire product made by plating a layer of nickel onto a copper-clad steel core. The steel core provides strength and durability, while the copper coating allows for good conductivity, and the nickel plating offers enhanced resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and wear. This combination of materials makes Ni-Plated CCS wire ideal for applications requiring both high mechanical strength and good electrical conductivity, especially in harsh environmental conditions.
The nickel plating provides superior resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and environmental degradation, making the wire suitable for outdoor and high-humidity applications.
The use of copper-clad steel reduces the cost of the wire compared to solid copper wire while maintaining good conductivity.
The steel core imparts high tensile strength, ensuring the wire can withstand mechanical stress, making it ideal for high-tension applications.
Copper provides excellent electrical conductivity, while the nickel plating does not significantly reduce conductivity.
The nickel coating offers improved resistance to wear and tear, especially in applications where the wire is exposed to mechanical friction or abrasion.
The wire's construction ensures minimal signal loss, making it suitable for data transmission and telecommunications.
Used in aircraft wiring, due to its resistance to corrosion and oxidation, as well as its high strength-to-weight ratio.
Employed in communication lines, fiber optic cable reinforcements, and antenna wiring, where both strength and conductivity are required.
Used in automotive electronics, where wires must endure harsh environmental conditions while maintaining electrical performance.
Applied in power transmission systems, including high-tension power lines and transformers, due to its durability and conductivity.
Ideal for industrial applications where cables are subjected to mechanical stress, moisture, and other environmental challenges.
Often used in military-grade wiring and electronics, where performance and reliability are critical in demanding conditions.
Utilized in renewable energy systems for their robustness and longevity in outdoor applications.
