Nickel-Copper Alloys: Wire / Strip / Bar
JLC 400is a nickel-copper, solid-solution alloy that offers good strength and toughness over a wide temperature range, including sub-zero temperatures. It provides excellent corrosion resistance and is also resistant to stress corrosion cracking and pitting in most industrial and fresh waters. As a result it is widely used in marine and chemical industries.JLC 500is a precipitation hardened alloy. It is essentially similar to JLC 400, but with minor additions of aluminum and titanium to the nickel-copper matrix. The resulting precipitates of Ni3(Ti, Al) impart high strength and hardness to the alloy. Another attractive property of this alloy is that it has low magnetic permeability and is practically non-magnetic, even at very low temperatures. As a result of these highly desirable properties, this alloy finds use in applications that demand not only the excellent corrosion resistance offered by JLC 400, but also that require increased strength, hardness, and non-magnetic characteristics.
