Our pure nickel strip products are custom-engineered to 99.98% purity for critical
battery connector applications. We employ an advanced wrought powder metallurgy process to deliver material with significant advantages in comparison to standard wrought nickel battery strip. Key benefits include:
- 15-20% higher conductivity than traditional cast nickel strip
- Consistent chemistry control
- Standard and custom sizes & tempers
- Short lead-times and small minimum order sizes
- Superior surface finish
Pure Nickel Strip Grades
As a leading nickel strip manufacturer, we offer three high purity nickel alloy strip grades that are mainly used for
battery connector applications:
Sizes of Nickel Strip
We specialize in rolling nickel strip and nickel alloy material down to small thicknesses in standard and custom sizes.
- Thickness: 0.001”(0.0254mm) to 0.060” (1.5mm)
- Width: 0.060” (1.5mm) to 13” (330mm)
We also work closely with
Hamilton Precision Metals, part of AMETEK Specialty Metal Products, to produce strip and nickel foil down to 1.5 microns (.000060”) thickness.
99.98% Pure Nickel Strip for 15-20% Higher Conductivity
We maintain a low temperature roll compacted process to minimize impurities from forming within our nickel strip. Higher purity material reduces impedance and increases conductivity by 15-20% compared to competitive materials. This increased conductivity allows for greater power transmission and higher performance in battery applications.
Tight control over low level alloying additions is also an inherent advantage of our wrought powder metallurgy process.
In comparison, standard cast products often contain non-metallic inclusions. These impurities are imparted as a result of hot rolling slabs in an unprotected environment.

Nickel Strip Battery Applications
Our nickel strip products are mainly used to connect multiple NiMh, NiCd or Li-Ion batteries into a battery pack. Other
battery applications include battery tabs, cathodes, switchgear connections and nickel mesh within battery catalysts.
