CU6085 C19160 Leaded Nickel Copper Wire

C19160 Leaded Nickel-Copper Wire Description

C19160 leaded Nickel-Copper wire is a high-performance copper alloy known for its excellent machinability, good thermal and electrical conductivity, and increased strength compared to pure copper. The nickel and phosphorus in the alloy combine to form nickel phosphate, which dissolves in the copper when heated to the appropriate temperature and can be retained through quenching. Subsequent aging causes the nickel phosphate to precipitate from the solid solution in a highly dispersed form, resulting in a significant hardening and strengthening effect with excellent stress relaxation properties. Further cold working increases the strength even more.
