Superior performance

HILUMIN is produced from ultra-clean, specially-cast steel. Our proven and dedicated plating and heat treatment process ensures high corrosion resistance for long battery life. The consistent quality of HILUMIN also meets the demands of high volume, high speed battery component production. HILUMIN is custom-made for each application and is available for any battery type (alkaline, lithium, NiMH, NiCd and Li-Ion, Zn Air). It is also available as perforated steel strip. HILUMIN comes in a wide variety of finishes and offers:

  • outstanding formability (with excellent adhesion) for high-speed can-making and cell assembly

  • excellent corrosion resistance and low contact resistance

  • excellent deep drawing capability

  • consistent mechanical properties and tight tolerances

  • low earing characteristics

 

Extended shelf life

For an even more advanced coating performance, HILUMIN Cobalt offers additional cobalt plating as a top coating. This HILUMIN cobalt strip outperforms the traditional alkaline battery can - enhancing cell performance considerably after ageing. If you are concerned about edge corrosion, we can also provide our HILUMIN coating on top of stainless steel.

Main benefits of HILUMIN include:

  • end-products of consistent and reliable quality

  • opportunities to enhance end-product performance

  • trouble-free, repeatable processing

  • scope to optimise processes

  • minimised yield loss
