AgNi0.15 30 % cold worked

AgNi0,15 fine grain silver is characterized, like fine silver, by good ductility and has virtually the same chemical resistance and only slightly lower electrical and thermal conductivity than fine silver. Compared to fine silver, however, it has a higher hardness and strength in the soft and cold-worked state and a higher softening temperature. The nickel addition suppresses the tendency of silver to coarse grain formation up to relatively high temperatures. It has the lowest contact resistance compared to AgCu alloys. It is almost independent of wear, that is, the number of switching cycles, and similar low to fine silver. Application: contact material
