Introduction
CuNi10 resistance alloy is a kind of copper nickel binary alloy with low temperature coefficient of resistance. It is used to make rheostat, shunt, controller and other low voltage electrical components with a maximum operating temperature of 250°C. Due to its good heat coefficient, this alloy is widely used in low temperature heating cable of automobile heating cushion, railway snow melting, etc.
