Material Description

NPS – Low carbon content steel wire uniformly coated with Nickel by electrolytic plating method. Used for inner lead part in LEAD-IN-WIRES for of GLS, FTL, auto, SVL, MVL and other lamps. It is also used as a third wire to support the anode ring in FTL.

Thickness of the Nickel Layer

Nickel plating is available in weight % or in micron thickness.

1. 2-4% by weight or minimum of 2 % by weight in thickness, which is used in lead wires.
2. Higher Nickel plating thickness (like 4% and 8% Thickness) is also manufactured as per customer requirement. The nickel coating has uniform adhesion over the full length of the core wire.

Nominal Composition

Mechanical Properties: Annealed or Soft Wire

Available Dimensions

The ovalness (the difference between the largest and smallest diameter in a section) is less than half the tolerance in the diameter.

Packaging

Depending upon customer’s requirement, wire is available on DIN 160, DIN 200, DIN 250 or equivalent spools, Plastic Drums, Paper Drums. Thicker size wires are available in coils or on cardboard rings. Each spool of wire is individually shrink-packaged and put in a cardboard box for maximum protection against oxidation. It is advisable to use the wire within six months from the date of manufacturing for best performance.
