Manufacturing of Semi-Finished Materials

Semi-finished contact pre-materials can be manufactured from solid precious metals, precious metal alloys or precious metal containing composite materials. They are made in wire, strip and profile form by known processing technologies such as extrusion and subsequent annealing and drawing or roll-forming. They are supplied following the manufacturer's internal standards usually related to DIN EN specifications for copper based materials. The most important materials are two – or multiple material layered semi-finished materials with t...
