Product Description
CuNi44 Foil (0.0125mm Thickness × 102mm Width)
Product Overview
CuNi44 foil (0.0125mm × 102mm), this copper-nickel resistance alloy, also known as constantan, is characterized by a high electrical resistance
coupled with a fairly small temperature coefficient of the resistance. This alloy also shows high tensile strength
and resistance towards corrosion. It can be used at temperatures of up to 600°C in air.
Standard Designations
- Alloy Grade: CuNi44 (Copper-Nickel 44)
- UNS Number: C71500
- International Standards: Complies with DIN 17664, ASTM B122, and GB/T 2059
- Dimensional Specification: 0.0125mm thickness × 102mm width
- Manufacturer: Tankii Alloy Material, certified to ISO 9001 for precision alloy processing
Key Advantages (vs. Standard CuNi44 Foils)
This 0.0125mm × 102mm
CuNi44 foil stands out for its targeted ultra-thin and fixed-width design:
- Ultra-Thin Precision: 0.0125mm thickness (equivalent to 12.5μm) achieves industry-leading thinness, enabling miniaturization of electronic componentswithout sacrificing mechanical strength.
- Stable Resistance Performance: Resistivity of 49 ± 2 μΩ·cm at 20°C and low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR: ±40 ppm/°C, -50°C to 150°C)—ensures minimal resistance drift in high-precision measurement scenarios, outperforming thinner non-alloy foils.
- Strict Dimensional Control: Thickness tolerance of ±0.0005mm and width tolerance of ±0.1mm (102mm fixed width) eliminate material waste in automated production lines, reducing post-processing costs for customers.
- Excellent Formability: High ductility (elongation ≥25% in annealed state) allows for complex micro-stamping and etching (e.g., fine resistor grids) without cracking—critical for precision electronic manufacturing.
- Corrosion Resistance: Passes 500-hour ASTM B117 salt spray testing with minimal oxidation, ensuring long-term reliability in humid or mild chemical environments.
