CuNi8 Resistance Alloy

Introduction
CuNi8 resistance alloy is one of copper nickel binary alloys having low temperature coefficient of resistance and a maximum operating temperature of 250°C. It is mainly used for producing low voltage circuit breaker, low temperature electric blanket, thermal cutout and other low voltage electrical components. This alloy is also used to make heating cable for home electric blanket.
