Polyimide-insulated Copper/Beryllium Wire (Cu98/Be2), also known as polyimide-coated CuBe2 wire, is distinguished by its remarkable mechanical strength and thermal stability. The polyimide insulation provides superior resistance to extreme temperatures and harsh chemical environments, making it an excellent choice for aerospace, defense, and high-performance industrial applications. The polyimide insulation also enhances the wire’s resilience against mechanical wear and environmental stressors, making it a preferred solution for applications requiring durability and reliability. The copper-beryllium alloy core, specifically CuBe2, offers exceptional electrical conductivity, fatigue resistance, and enhanced wear resistance due to cryogenic treatment. Goodfellow supplies this advanced wire, ensuring it meets rigorous industry standards and delivers consistent, high-quality results to support cutting-edge technological advancements.
