Histral® H (High strength alloys)- LEONI Histral® H16

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

Copper ranks second to silver as an electrical conductor. The copper cladding of LEONI Histral® H16 ensures a good electrical conductivity whenever mechanical properties do not play a primary role.

Environmentally friendly

LEONI Histral® is RoHS compliant in accordance with UE Directive 2011/65/EG. The materials contain no cadmium or other harmful elements and meet the high demands placed on modern eco-friendly materials. They are also fully compliant with all current REACh legislation. In response to inquiries made, we can confirm that our products do not contain any minerals that originate from regions of conflict. They are in full accordance with the American Dodd-Frank-Act.

Aluminum is a fairly abundant material that can be recycled in a lot of ways, thus it contributes to saving valuable resources.

Special applications

Aviation and automotive industry

Weight is of major importance for the construction of airplanes and automobiles. LEONI Histral® H16 is particularly suited for larger cross-sections here that can be employed for the transmission of power, where there is a significant weight reduction potential.

High-frequency (HF) technology / coaxial cables

In HF technology the so-called "skin effect“ ensures that the current flow is restricted to a very thin layer situated on the surface of the conductor and that the overall resistance in the conductor is reduced. LEONI Histral® H16 has copper, which features good electrical, in the cladding only. The additional galvanic plating of the surface causes the skin effect to be optimized.

Shielding braids

LEONI Histral® H16 features a resistivity lending itself well to shielding braids because high coverage can be achieved at a comparatively low weight. The fact that aluminum suffers from the drawback of having a poor contact resistance is largely offset by the copper cladding.

Heating conductors

The combination of a relatively good resistance value with a rather low mechanical resilience suggest that LEONI Histral® H16 may well be used in all kinds of heating applications that are not exposed to a permanently varying level of stress.
