Nickel-plated wire, also known as silver-plated copper wire or silver-plated round copper wire, is made by plating silver on oxygen-free copper wire or low-oxygen copper wire and then drawing it thin through a wire drawing machine. Nickel-plated copper wire is divided into nickel-plated soft round copper wire (TRY) and nickel-plated hard round copper wire. Nickel-plated soft round copper wire is annealed to change its physical properties to achieve softness.
Nickel-plated copper wire can use parts with excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, weldability and high hardness to meet the use requirements of the parts and increase the service life of the parts.
It is widely used in the maintenance of aviation, ships, railways, electronics, machinery and various vehicles. It is a new technology at present.
