Nickel Silicon Chromium Copper

A Nickel Silicon Chromium Copper is an alloy having a high hardness and improved electrical conductivity almost equal to that of Beryllium Copper. The alloy is composed by weight of 2.0% to 3.0% Nickel, 0.4% to 0.8% Silicon, 0.1% to 0.5% Chromium, and the balance Copper.It replaces the Beryllium Copper in practically all applications.

Nickel Silicon Chromium Copper is used wherever a good electrical or thermal conductivity is required together with high mechanical properties

Applications include Electrode Holders and Seam Welding Shafts, Spot welding electrodes, Seam Welding Wheels, Projection and Butt welding dies, Plunger tips for cold chamber aluminium die casting machines, Parts of Moulds for Injection moulding of plastics, Injection-Nozzles and Cooling Pins etc.
