Nickel Silver 101

Chemical Composition Limits
Weight % Cu Ni Mn Fe Pb Zn
NS 101 44-47 9-11 0.2-0.5 0.4 max 1-2.5 Remainder

Nickel silvers can and have been used in industrial, rural and marine atmospheres but always needed an amount of maintenance work to keep them looking best. But now nickel silver has a new lacquer coating called “Incralac” which reduces the work needed.
