TOP quality constanstan(CuNi44)
Grade: CuNi44,it is also called Cuprothal, Alloy 294, Cuprothal 294, Nico, MWS-294, Cupron, Copel, Alloy 45,Neutrology, Advance, CuNi 102, Cu-Ni 44, Constantan
CuNi series:
CuNi1, CuNi2, CuNi6, CuNi8, CuNi10, CuNi14, CuNi19, CuNi23, CuNi30, CuNi44.
Those are alloys of chemical composition copper + nickel with addition of manganese with a low resistivity (from 231.5 to 23.6 Ohm. Mm2/ft).
The most known, CuNi 44 (also called Constantan) presents the advantage of a very low temperature coefficient.
Their advantages are the following:
Very good resistance to corrosion
Very good malleability
Very good solderability
