Nickel Silver
Alternative Designations: Nickel Silver / Zinc White Copper / Copper-Nickel-Zinc Alloy
Description
Nickel Silver (Cu-Ni-Zn alloy) contains 12-30% nickel, presenting a silvery-white appearance with properties similar to pure silver (including antimicrobial properties) at the lower cost. It requires dezincification corrosion protection after processing.
Key Features
1. Silver-like appearance (high luster and tarnish-resistant)
2. Excellent antimicrobial properties (suitable for medical/food-grade applications)
3. Good elasticity & wear resistance (suitable for elastic components)
4. Seawater corrosion resistance (preferred for marine equipment)
