Abstract

There is provided a composite material particularly suited for electrical and electronic applications having a metallic core with a desired surface finish. An acicular superficial coating layer having an apparent thickness of less than 275 angstroms is adjacent to at least a portion of the metallic core. The superficial coating layer is removable from the metallic core without appreciable change to the metallic core surface finish.
