CuNi1 is all about delivering performance where it matters most. Its 1% nickel content gives it the lowest resistivity among copper-nickel alloys, making it a cost-effective choice compared to higher-nickel alloys like CuNi6 or Constantan 6J40. Its thermal conductivity (70 W/mK) is top-tier, ensuring efficient heat transfer in thermocouples and electrical components. With a tensile strength of 200 MPa, it’s strong enough to handle mechanical stress while keeping costs down.

This wire’s low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) ensures stable electrical properties in low-temperature environments, from -50°C to 200°C. That makes it a great fit for thermocouples in HVAC systems or sensors in consumer electronics. While it’s not built for extreme corrosion like higher-nickel alloys, its good corrosion resistance holds up well in mild settings, such as indoor electrical systems or automotive components. For applications where budget and low resistance are priorities, CuNi1 is tough to beat.
