Copper Silver Alloy Wire (CuAg)
Magnesium content ranging from 0.10% to 0.4%
Copper Alloy Conductor
Copper-silver alloy wire is produced through a smelting process that allows precise control over the silver content, ranging from 0.10% to 4%. The alloy undergoes drawing, annealing, electroplating, and stranding processes to achieve different specifications. It is available in various forms, including single wire, stranded wire, multi-strand ropes, and parallel multi-wire. The diameter of single-wire options typically ranges from 0.016mm to 1.0mm.
- Electronics: Commonly used for internal connections in devices like computer motherboards and smartphone cables. It’s also a great option for reducing signal loss in high-frequency electronics.
- Jewelry Industry: Used in high-end jewelry designs, copper-silver wire can be shaped and woven into intricate patterns. Its resistance to corrosion helps maintain the jewelry’s look over time.
- Power Transmission: Well-suited for power distribution and precision instruments, where reliable conductivity and mechanical strength are essential.
