Cell Lab 3N8 (99.98%) Nickel (Ni) Wire Evaporation Materials [0.5 mm Dia × 20 m L]

High-Purity Nickel Wire for Vacuum Coating and Electronic Applications

General Description

Cell Lab 3N8 (99.98%) Nickel (Ni) Wire is a silvery-white, lustrous metal with a slight golden tint, engineered for vacuum evaporation, thin-film deposition, and surface coating applications. Nickel’s combination of ductility, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability makes it one of the most widely used materials in microelectronics, fuel cells, solar collectors, and battery research.

This high-purity Ni wire is also used in hydrogenation catalysis, rechargeable battery cathodes, and alloy coating to improve the corrosion resistance and adhesion of steel, aluminium, and magnesium alloys. Its smooth, uniform composition ensures clean, stable evaporation behaviour and superior coating adhesion.
