Nickel Coated Carbon Fiber

1. Product Overview

Nickel Coated Carbon Fiber is an innovative material that combines the lightweight properties of carbon fiber with the exceptional conductivity of nickel. Through advanced surface metallization treatment, this composite significantly enhances its electrical conductivity—approximately ten times greater than standard carbon fiber—while maintaining the robust mechanical strength inherent to carbon fibers. This results in a weight reduction of 50%-80% compared to traditional metals, making Nickel Coated Carbon Fiber a revolutionary choice for high-performance applications.

2. Applications

Due to its unique combination of properties, Nickel Coated Carbon Fiber is widely used across various industries:

● Electromagnetic Shielding: Its superior electrical conductivity makes it ideal for shielding electronic components from electromagnetic interference, enhancing device performance and reliability.

● Heating Cables: With excellent thermal conductivity and rapid temperature response, it is perfect for use in heating cables, ensuring efficient heat distribution.

● Conductive Plastics: As a filler, it improves the conductivity of plastics, enhancing wettability between carbon fiber and metal matrices, thereby increasing interface bonding strength and dimensional stability.

● Aerospace & Military: Valued for its high strength-to-weight ratio, essential for performance and efficiency in aerospace and defense sectors.

● Automotive & Electronics: Contributes to fuel efficiency in automotive parts and improved device performance in electronics through its lightweight and high conductivity.

3. Features

The distinctive features of Nickel Coated Carbon Fiber include:
