High Purity Nickel Strip Brochure

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed technical specifications and advantages of AMETEK's High Purity Nickel Strip, emphasizing its application in the rechargeable battery industry.
Key Advantages:
  • Lowest electrical resistivity available in pure nickel strip.
  • Enhanced weldability due to homogeneity, microcleanliness, and close composition control.
  • Low levels of surface oxides reduce die wear and improve solderability.
  • Excellent formability.
Applications: The nickel strip is particularly beneficial for rechargeable batteries used in computers, cellular phones, power tools, electric vehicles, and camcorders.
Chemical Composition: The document lists maximum values for various grades of nickel, including 899A, 899L, 899M, 899D, 899E, and 899G, with nickel purity ranging from 99.5% to 99.97%.
Mechanical Properties: The document provides comparative data for tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and hardness for different nickel grades in both annealed and cold-rolled conditions.
Thermal and Electrical Properties:
  • Density at 70°F: 8.90 g/cc.
  • Coefficient of Linear Expansion: 0.000014 to 0.000016 in./in.-°C.
  • Young’s Modulus: 30.1 PSI x 106.
  • Electrical Conductivity: 22.6% IACS.
  • Thermal Conductivity: 70 W/m-K.
Physical Properties: The document includes data on atomic number, weight, radius, crystal structure, melting point, and other physical characteristics.
Specifications and Standards: The nickel strip meets several ASTM and MIL standards, including ASTM B-162, ASTM F-3, ASTM F-239, MIL-N-19153, and MIL-N-46025.
