Characteristic
Cu-Ni alloy, copper Cu with nickel Ni, silver white, metallic luster, so the name white copper.
Copper and nickel can solute with each other indefinitely, thus forming a continuous solid solution, that is, no matter what the ratio of each other, but a constant α- phase alloy.White copper is an elegant term for copper - nickel alloy with a density of 8.9-8.88 between copper and nickel.
Application
In copper alloy, cupola has excellent corrosion resistance and is easy to be molded, processed and welded. It is widely used in shipbuilding, petroleum, chemical industry, construction, electric power, precision instruments, medical instruments, Musical Instruments and other sectors to make corrosion-resistant structural parts.Some white copper also has special electrical properties for making resistance elements, thermocouple materials, and compensation wires.Non-industrial white copper is mainly used to make decorative arts and crafts.
