Copper Nickel Silicon

Characteristics:
It is a high-performance alloy with low nickel and silicon content. It is precipitation hardened, offering high strength, hardness, good electrical conductivity, excellent wear resistance, and superior formability. It is an ideal substitute for beryllium copper alloys.
Typical applications:
It is mainly used for cores and inserts in blow molding and injection molding molds, as well as die parts in die casting.
