Characteristics of nickel silver
: A copper-nickel-zinc alloy that contains no silver; Contains 50-80 percent copper, 5-30 percent nickel and 10-35 percent zinc; it may also contain small percentages of lead, tin, and manganese; Higher amounts of copper make the nickel silver metal more ductile and more resistant to corrosion; Higher amounts of zinc slightly improves corrosion resistance, lowers the melting point, raises its strength and hardness, but decreases its ductility; Has many of the same characteristics as brass and bronze; Has existed for over 2000 years; May be wrought, cast, rolled, stamped, forged, drawn, extruded and machined; Silvery-white in color; Takes a high polish; Extremely hard; Abrasion-resistant; Malleable; Ductile; Nonmagnetic; Highly resistant to environmental corrosion; Suitable for soldering and welding, depending on the presence of lead; Develops a protective oxide, or patina when exposed to oxygen; the patina is brownish-green when exposed for long periods of time; Called copper-nickel or false copper in the late 1600s due to the reddish color of the ore, but lacking the ductility and malleability of copper; Discovery that the silver ore contained nickel occurred in the mid 1700s; established as a new elemental metal by Aksel Frederik Cronstedt; A German version called new silver was marketed in the 1800s; Called German Silver in England up until World War I; called nickel silver after that time.
Typical current uses for nickel silver include:
Industrial and electrical purposes, Cast and wrought forms of the metal are occasionally found in building designs, Manufactured today only in silver white or white with a yellow tint; shades of pale yellow, green, pink and blue can also be produced by varying the nickel content; custom orders can also be made to match an older nickel alloy finish if necessary.
