Annealed (OS070) C75400 Nickel Silver

OS070 C75400 nickel silver is C75400 nickel silver in the OS070 (annealed to 0.070mm grain size) temper. It has the lowest strength and highest ductility compared to the other variants of C75400 nickel silver.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare OS070 C75400 nickel silver to: wrought copper-nickels (top), all copper alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
