What is a Nickel plated copper sheet:
Nickel/copper clad plate is a metal composite material, which has the function of cladding layer and the combination of toughness and toughness of the base layer. The base material ensures the toughness and strength of the stainless steel clad plate. Clad materials give stainless steel clad plates more properties, such as corrosion resistance given by stainless steel, nickel, and alloys, titanium and titanium alloys; wear resistance given by wear-resistant steel and martensitic stainless steel.

FAQs of Nickel plated copper sheet:
Can you plate nickel with copper?
Copper plating under nickel is definitely not mandatory, but if you do choose to add this step to your electroplating process, it will certainly improve the overall finish of the nickel.
What is nickel clad copper?
This unique clad wire technology, used in our wire and rod range, combines pure wrought nickel with copper. The result is a complete metallurgical bond between the materials, allowing for full ductility across all diameters.
Is copper-nickel safe?
General measures: Under normal treatment and use, it is rarely healthy in the case of the solid form of the material. Subsequent operations (such as grinding, melting, or welding) may produce potential dangerous dust or smoke that may be inhaled or exposed to the skin or eyes.
