Nickel Silver 106

Alloy Names
UNS	C75200

Applications
Consumer: Holloware, Musical Instrument Parts, Radio Dials, Name Plates, Hollow Ware, Costume Jewelry, Camera Parts, Bows, Table Flat Ware, Zippers. Fasteners: Screws, Rivets. Industrial: Truss Wire, Base for Silver Plate, Core Bars, Templates, Etching Stock.

Characterists
NS 106 is one of the most popular grades of nickel silver for deep drawing, spinning and other cold forming operations. It combines good strength and ductility with outstanding resistance to wear, corrosion and tarnish. It accepts a high degree of polish to a slivery white colour, aesthetically pleasing in its own right, while also providing an excellent base material for plated silverware - still on of its traditional uses. the alloy also finds many electrical and electronic applications and is readily soldered and silver brazed. the sheets are stocked in soft temper suitable for extensive cold working.
