Key Performance Advantages
Superior Electrical Stability
Ultra-low temperature coefficient of resistance (±5×10⁻⁶/℃ from 0-100℃) ensures resistance value drift ≤0.005% within working temperature range, making it ideal for high-precision electronic components.
Excellent Mechanical Processability
High ductility with elongation ≥35% and bending radius ≤1× thickness enables complex component shaping through stamping, deep drawing, and etching processes.
Corrosion Resistance & Environmental Adaptability
Forms a dense oxide film that passes 500-hour ASTM B117 salt spray testing and operates stably from -40℃ to 120℃.
