1. Gold
Goldwire has excellent electrical properties and low reactivity, makingit ideal for applications that require stability, precision, anddurability in harsh environments. Gold wire has a long history ofuse in the medical, aerospace, and electrical industries and can bepurchased in the form of round or gold ribbon. Either form of goldwire can be made pure or mixed with beryllium which is used toprevent overheating in semiconductor applications.
MedicalApplications Of Gold Wire
Gold wire issuitable for the following medical equipment and procedures:
Electrosurgery
Guide wire
Stents
Life-supportdevices
Medicalmarkers for X-rays
CVtherapies
In vitrodiagnostic devices
Gold wireprovides radiopacity, or the ability to block X-rays, making it apopular material for medical markers in X-ray imaging andprocedures that require high visibility such as stent and catheterplacement.
AerospaceApplications Of Gold Wire
In theaerospace industry, sensors play a key part in temperatureregulation and monitoring systems. Beyond temperature regulation,gold wire is also used in aerospace applications such as:
Wire-woundpotentiometers
Aerospaceinstrumentation (avionics)
Radiocommunication equipment
As a reliableconductor and connector, gold wire enables these critical pieces ofequipment to function well in the harsh, high-pressureenvironments.
ElectricalApplications Of Gold Wire
Gold wire ispopular in electrical applications and can be found in a wide rangeof electronic devices such as:
Imagingdevices
Televisions
Smartphones
Computers
LEDs
Orthodonticappliances
Gold’sconductivity enables a smooth, uninterrupted flow of electricitywhen incorporated into connectors or relay contacts. Withincomputers, gold wire is used inside the motherboard to attachcables and mount microprocessors allowing for rapid and reliabletransmission through multiple components. Gold wire is also usedfor wire bonding, a process which connects an integrated circuit toits packaging, as it can withstand high pressure, heat, andultrasonic energy.
