Formability Limited — suitable for straight sections, minimal bending Excellent — suitable for coiling, winding, complex forming
Best For Straight heating elements, rigid resistor leads, structural applications where stiffness is needed Coiled heating cables, wound resistors, thermal overload relay windings, applications requiring post-forming
Hard or soft? Hard temper delivers higher mechanical strength and stiffness — ideal for self-supporting elements. Soft temper provides maximum formability for winding and coiling operations. Electrical resistivity is consistent in both conditions. Not sure? Tell us your forming process — we recommend within 24 hours.
Why CuNi23 — Application Advantages
Advantage How CuNi23 Delivers Benefit vs Alternatives
Stable resistivity Copper-nickel solid solution alloy — resistivity is inherent to the composition, not dependent on cold work or heat treatment Unlike pure nickel or NiCr alloys where resistivity varies with processing history, CuNi23 maintains consistent 0.12 μΩ·m in both hard and soft conditions
Low TCR — minimal resistance drift with temperature TCR of 50*10⁻⁶/°C means resistance changes only ~0.5% per 100°C temperature change Pure metals (Cu: ~4000, Ni: ~6000) drift 80–120* more with temperature. Your precision resistor or relay stays calibrated across operating temperature range
Excellent corrosion resistance 23% nickel content provides good resistance to oxidation, moisture, and many chemical environments Outlasts bare copper and copper-clad wires in humid, mildly corrosive, or elevated-temperature environments — no protective coating required for most applications
Good processability & weldability Ductile solid solution alloy — readily cold drawn to fine diameters, easily soldered and welded Simplifies your manufacturing: no special joining techniques, no brittle intermetallic concerns, standard soldering and resistance welding processes apply
Low thermal EMF vs specific alloys −34 μV/°C vs copper means predictable thermoelectric behavior Critical for precision resistor and relay applications where unintended thermocouple junctions between wire and copper terminals could introduce measurement errors
Hard / Soft CuNi Alloy 23%Ni Cu/Ni Excellent Resistivity 0.12μΩ.m20.C Tcr 50 X10-6/C
Industry Application Why CuNi23
Electrical Apparatus Thermal overload relay windings, low-resistance circuit breaker heaters Stable 0.12 μΩ·m resistivity + low TCR ensures consistent tripping characteristics across temperature range
Resistors & Potentiometers Precision wire-wound resistors, shunt resistors, potentiometer windings Resistivity independent of temper — your resistor value stays stable regardless of forming process
Heating Cables Electric heating cables, trace heating, floor warming systems Corrosion-resistant — no protective jacket degradation compromising heating element life
Automotive Sensor resistors, actuator heater windings, battery management system shunt resistors Handles under-hood temperature cycling without resistance drift — TCR low enough that ambient temperature changes don't affect circuit calibration
Industrial Controls Motor overload protection, current sensing shunts, instrumentation resistors Predictable performance over 20+ year service life in industrial environments
Key Features & Benefits
  • Dual temper availability — hard & soft from one supplier — Order hard temper for self-supporting rigid elements, soft temper for winding and coiling. Same grade, same resistivity, same traceability — different mechanical condition to match your process. No need to qualify two different suppliers.
  • Resistivity independent of temper — Unlike work-hardened pure metals where resistivity shifts with cold work, CuNi23 maintains stable 0.12 μΩ·m in both hard and soft conditions. Your electrical design holds regardless of wire delivery condition.
  • Low TCR — stability where it matters — 50*10⁻⁶/°C means minimal resistance change with temperature. Your precision resistor or relay winding maintains calibrated performance from cold start to full operating temperature.
  • Precision diameter: 0.08–7.5 mm — Multi-pass cold drawing with in-line diameter control. Consistent cross-section means consistent resistance per meter — critical when every ohm counts in your design.
  • Good corrosion resistance without coating — The 23% nickel content provides inherent resistance to oxidation and moisture. No plating or coating required for most applications — simplifies your supply chain and manufacturing process.
  • Full traceability — heat to spool — Every spool traceable to original heat number. EN 10204 3.1 MTC with chemical composition and mechanical properties included as standard. When your customer audits material certs, the documentation chain is complete.
Why Choose DLX Alloy?

Changzhou DLX Alloy Co., Ltd. was founded in 2002 with a single focus: nickel-based specialty alloys — including the full CuNi alloy family from CuNi1 to CuNi44. We don't just draw wire; we melt, forge, roll, and draw under one roof with metallurgical control at every step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hard or soft — which temper should I order?

Hard temper (cold drawn): higher tensile strength and stiffness, ideal for self-supporting straight heating elements, rigid resistor leads, and applications where the wire must hold its shape. Soft temper (annealed): maximum formability and ductility, ideal for winding, coiling, and applications requiring post-forming. Resistivity is the same — 0.12 μΩ·m — in both conditions. Not sure? Describe your forming process and we recommend within 24 hours.

What is the resistivity tolerance — does it vary between spools?

Our standard resistivity tolerance is ±5% of nominal (0.12 μΩ·m ± 0.006). For precision applications requiring tighter tolerance, we can supply to ±3% or better. Each spool is individually measured and labeled with its actual resistivity value. Consistent from spool to spool, batch to batch.

How does CuNi23 compare to CuNi44 (Constantan) for resistivity applications?

CuNi23 has lower resistivity (0.12 vs 0.49 μΩ·m for CuNi44) and lower nickel content (23% vs 44%). CuNi23 is preferred when lower resistance values are needed in the same wire gauge, or when lower material cost is a priority. CuNi44 is preferred for high-resistance applications and thermocouple extension wire. We can supply both for your evaluation.

Can you supply a trial spool for resistivity and TCR verification?

Yes. Trial quantities are available for all diameters and tempers. We encourage first-time buyers to verify resistivity, TCR, and mechanical performance in your specific application before committing to production volumes.

Is CuNi23 suitable for soldering and welding?

Yes. CuNi23 is readily solderable using standard tin-lead or lead-free solders with appropriate flux. Resistance welding and brazing are also suitable. No special surface preparation required beyond standard cleaning. We can supply with bright surface finish ready for joining operations.
