Nickel Alloy 205

Nickel 205 alloy is a wrought nickel alloy with properties similar to that of nickel 200 alloy. It exhibits excellent mechanical, electrical, and corrosion-resistant properties and good oxidation resistance.

The alloy is ferromagnetic below 360°C (680°F), and contains small additions of aluminum and titanium for a good combination of mechanical and electrical properties.

Nickel 205 is a wrought nickel similar to Nickel 200 but with compositional adjustments to enhance the performance in electronic applications. It is most commonly used for the anodes and grids of electronic valves, magnetostrictive transducers, lead wires, transistor…
