OhmAlloy049 is a copper-nickel alloy (Cu56Ni44 alloy) characterized by high electrical resistance, high ductility and good corrosion resistance. It is suitable for use at temperatures up to 400°C Typical applications for OhmAlloy49 are temperature-stable potentiometers, industrial rheostats and electric motor starter resistances. The combination of negligible temperature coefficient and high resistivity makes the alloy particulary suitable for the winding of precision resistors.
