Description

NS101 (CuNi10Zn42Pb2) is the general purpose grade of nickel silver most commonly used for hot stamping to complex shapes and as machining rod for a wide variety of electrical and electronic components. It has good corrosion and tarnish resistance and is frequently specified for many architectural applications where best use is made of its pleasing silvery gold colour and resistance to atmospheric corrosion.

Equivalent Materials

This material data has been provided by Matmatch.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
