Nickel-Silver and Copper-Zinc-Copper

Apr 27, 2005 0 Replies

I'm currently looking at some materials for conducting springs.



Several materials are useful for things like including Phosphor bronze and stainless steel. Also, some people have mentioned Nickel-silver and Copper-Zinc-Copper.



There seems to be some confusion surrounding these materials. Is it true that copper-zinc-copper and nickel-silver are both misnomers for the same material?



If not, does anyone know what the differences are in terms of their properties?



What are they actually made of?
