Nickel Silver Sheets

Mod Forge Pvt. Ltd. offers Nickel Silver Sheets. An alloy of copper, zinc and nickel, the range of Nickel Silver Sheets are also known as German silver. Procured from reliable vendors, our range has a bright silvery appearance but actually contain no silver. Contain 10-25% nickel and 17-40% zinc with the remainder being copper. Classified by their nickel content with higher nickel contents producing a whiter, silvery color. Corrosion resistance increases with higher nickel content and the resulting alloys are less vulnerable to stress corrosion. Strength also increases with nickel content but the increased nickel has little effect on ductility. For industrial applications there is limited advantage in exceeding a nickel content of 18%, however for decorative applications a higher nickel content will provide maximum resistance to stain and tarnish. The spring properties of the alloys are good and remain so at elevated temperatures. The electrical conductivity of nickel silver is much less than that for copper.
