Electrical wire for forming single strand electrical conductor, has core with outer layer made of nickel/zinc alloy, where outer layer is passivated by chromium, molybdate or phosphate, and nickel and zinc alloy is core deposition on core

摘要

The wire has a core (2) with an outer layer (3) disposed on the core by electrodeposition. The outer layer is made up of a nickel or zinc alloy. The zinc and nickel alloy is a core deposition on the core. The mass ratio of the nickel in the alloy lies between 5 and 15 percent. The thickness of the outer layer lies between 0.1 and 10 micrometer. The outer layer is passivated by chromium, molybdate or phosphate. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a single strand electrical conductor formed by a wire (2) a multistrand electrical conductor formed by a set of multiple wires.
