Silver Wire
MATERIAL OVERVIEW
ESPI offers wire made up of many different element’s and/or alloys as well as in numerous other forms and purities; up to 6N (99.9999%) and sells principally to the research and manufacturing communities. Wire is usually a single, cylindrical, flexible strand of metal which is used to carry electricity and telecommunications signals or to bear mechanical loads or for research purposes. Although wire is usually circular in cross-section it can be made into square, hexagonal, flattened rectangular or other cross-section forms. Wire and rod are commonly formed by drawing or extruding which are metal working processes using tensile forces to change its form by either pulling (draw) or pushing (extrude) metal through a die of the desired cross-section to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile.
Where not specified in the purchase order or contract, ESPI shall apply standard workmanship tolerances. Rounds (rod, wire, etc): +/-10% for diameter and length. Profiles (plate, sheet, foil, etc): +/- 10% for thickness, width and length. Other non-machined solids (powder, shot, pieces, etc): +/-10% for weight, +/-25% for size.
HOWEVER, ESPI'S RESPONSIVENESS TO ANY CUSTOMER'S UNIQUE SPECIFICATIONS, ENABLES US TO MANUFACTURE TO NEARLY ANY CUSTOM REQUIREMENT.

Characteristics: Soft, ductile, lustrous white solid. Highest electrical and thermal conductivity of all metals. Resists oxidation, but tarnishes in air through reaction with atmospheric sulfur compounds. Absorbs oxygen strongly at melting point. Soluble in nitric acid, and alkali cyanide solutions, insoluble in water and alkalies. Noncombustible, except as powder.
Hazards: Tolerance (metal) 0.1 mg/m3 of air; (soluble compounds, (as Ag), 0.1 mg/m3 of air
In addition to the standard sizes listed in our online catalog custom shapes and sizes are available upon request.
