Nickel Clad Copper Conductors
Nickel-Clad Copper Foil
NCC foil combines a copper core with nickel cladding in a thin rolled form. It is considered where a conductive core and a nickel contact or joining surface are needed. Specify foil dimensions, nickel-layer construction, surface condition and the intended joining process.
Construction and specification
- Material construction
- Copper core with a nickel outer layer; specify layer construction and ratio basis
- Product form
- Foil
- Nickel layer
- Custom layer ratio by corrosion, welding and temperature requirement
- Application environment
- Battery, high temperature, corrosive, hydrogen or sensor applications
Selection and processing
The copper core provides the main conductive section and the nickel layer defines the surface construction. State each layer and the ratio basis, including exposed cut edges. Joining and corrosion checks need the actual mating metals and service medium.
Standards context
Use the drawing and a material/form-specific purchase specification. Round-wire references do not qualify rolled strip, foil or flat wire. Confirm edition, methods and acceptance criteria.
