Silver-Coated Nickel Powder — Grades & Specifications
Silver-Coated Nickel Powder (Ag@Ni) powder is supplied across a range of grades, particle sizes and coating ratios. The options below are typical; specify your target values in the request form and we will confirm availability, lead time and pricing.
| Material | Silver-Coated Nickel Powder (Ag@Ni) |
|---|---|
| Category | Metal-Coated Powder |
| Core material | Nickel (CAS 7440-02-0) |
| Coating / shell material | Silver (CAS 7440-22-4) |
| Coating content | Typically 5-55 wt% Ag depending on grade, with D50 <=5 um lines commonly offered around lower Ag loadings |
| Particle size | D50 approximately 1-5 um on common commercial lines; nanopowder variants (roughly 80-100 nm) are also available |
| Morphology | Spherical or flake, generally described as good sphericity with a uniform particle size distribution |
| Appearance | Silver-gray to black powder depending on grade and particle size |
| Oxidation Resistance & Conductivity | The silver shell protects the nickel core from oxidation and gives high oxidation-resistance temperature with good conductivity versus bare nickel powder |
| Typical applications | Conductive Slurry Formulation, Conductive Printing Inks, High-Temperature Sealing Materials, Electrical Contact Components |
