ARCAP

AP1D

Turned parts

The AP1D grade has been developed especially for being machined by lathe.

Its machinability is one of the best of all the corrosion resistant alloys.

The very good machine ability of the AP1D grade may be summerised by:

- Cutting speed up to 150m/ minute. (according to the type of part, cutting tool and lathe).

- Very good quality surface that can be lapped or polished with diamond tool. burr free after drilling.

- Reduction in frequency of tool sharpening 

Nickel Silver

ARCAP

AP1C-AP1

Good formability

The AP1C grade (used in rods for parts that are to be deformed by torsion, bending, riveting, swaging and for welding.

The AP1 grade (sheet, strip, wire, tube) is machine able under the same conditions as carbon steel.

Nickel silvers are alloys of copper, nickel, zinc, and are classified by the nickel content. They are good spring materials with good formability and corrosion resistance. The pleasing silver grey is a factor in applications where appearance is important.

Applications

Electrical Contacts

Nickel silvers are used for electrical contacts in the electronics and telecommunications industries.

Gift And Tablewares

In this application, the items are often plated with silver. The natural colour and resistance of this alloy to tarnishing means that even when the silver wears off, the item still retains an attractive appearance.

Mechanical Connectors

Due to the favourable strength properties and excellent corrosion resistance, nickel silvers are used for applications such as clips, rivets, screws, hinges and locks.

Other Applications

Other applications include springs, instrument parts, architectural fittings, machined parts, decorative items, resistance wire, musical instrument wire, camera parts.
