(Common Name:CuNi44,NC50.Cuprothal, Alloy 294, Cuprothal 294, Nico,
MWS-294, Cupron, Copel, Alloy 45, Neutrology, Advance, CuNi 102,
Cu-Ni 44, Konstantan,constantan.)
OhmAlloy49 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.
OhmAlloy49 is manufactured from electrolytic copper and pure
nickel. In finer wire sizes the alloy is designated as
OhmAlloy49TC(Thermocouple).
