Silver price hikes! Don’t worry, TDK has the answer

Catinca - TDK
Catinca - TDK
7 May 2026

When Material Costs Spike, Engineering Decisions Matter.  Silver prices have surged and with them, the cost and risk profile of conventional piezo designs. But what if the solution isn’t about managing volatility… but eliminating dependency altogether?

At TDK, we’re taking a different route:
Small blue diamondReplacing silver with copper
Small blue diamondStabilizing cost structures
Small blue diamondIncreasing reliability in humid environments

Our copper-based HAS technology doesn’t just respond to market pressure, it redefines the baseline for performance, durability, and scalability across applications like nano-positioning in semiconductor manufacturing, in medical drug delivery, and in AI infrastructure.

The real question isn’t how to cope with rising silver prices. It’s how to design beyond them.

    I would like to know. What would happen, if you mix copper with graphene for increasing electrical conductivity and reduce cost.
