Clad wire from Anomet is corrosion-resistant, biocompatible

Anomet Products offers custom-manufactured clad metal wire. It can combine up to three materials to create a high-integrity and formable clad composite wire that can achieve properties not available in a single alloy. Featuring 2 percent or more cladding thickness, the wire can be made in sizes from 0.002 to 0.125 in. OD to meet design criteria for corrosion resistance, wear resistance, contact resistance, biocompatibility, radiopacity, and high conductivity.

Featuring a gold, silver, palladium, or platinum exterior layer, the core and second layer of the wire can include copper, stainless steel, Kovar®, niobium, Nitinol®, nickel-iron, molybdenum, tantalum, and titanium.
