Copper plating on steel wire

$15.00

There is a new proprietary alkaline non-cyanide copper process that provides process advantages and plated copper characteristics for the copper plating of steel wire. Acid copper is utilized to plate copper quickly by plating at high current densities 300-1,000 amps per square foot. The resulting copper plated steel wire can be plated to an exact thickness with excellent conductivity properties and adhesion to the steel wire or it can be drawn down to a smaller diameter with excellent adhesion and conductivity properties.
