Wires and strands for aerospace technology – the most extreme of applications, where there is no margin for error in case of quality and reliability.
The biggest challenges are:
- reliability
- flexibility
- weight saving
- corrosion resistance
- resistance against variations in temperature from -150 °C to 200 °C
LEONI addresses these challenges by manufacturing high performance conductors made of copper and copper based alloys, fulfilling the tightest tolerances:
- "Space wire": silver plated wires with a plating thickness of 3 microns
- 27% nickel-plated wires
- Wires and strands made of high strength alloys LEONI Histral® H
- Miniaturized conductors with a single wire diameter of ≥ 0.025 mm (AWG 50)
