Construction and specification
- Material
- Nickel Clad Copper (Ni/Cu)
- Product form
- Round wire
- Dimensions
- Specify dimensions and tolerances on the drawing; confirm the available production range for this construction
- Electrical specification
- Specify copper grade, nickel layer basis and resistance test conditions
Confirm the grade, condition, drawing tolerances and inspection methods for the requested batch. A listed construction does not establish stock or approval for substitution.
Specify diameter, nickel-layer construction and ratio basis, joining method, temperature profile and exposure medium. Agree the inspection and application tests before selecting a construction.
Send the drawing, quantity, required inspection documents and delivery requirements to confirm availability and a quotation.
Specifications and Documentation
Identify the product form, standard and edition required by the drawing. A material standard does not establish approval for the finished assembly. Agree inspection methods, acceptance limits and required documents for the order.
ASTM B355-11(2024): nickel-coated soft/annealed round copper wire. Confirm construction, nickel mass class and required tests; the clad name alone does not establish compliance or exclusion. This reference is not certification.
