Nickel-Silver Alloys

Nickel-silver are alloys containing from 10 to 25 nickel, 50 to 63% copper and the remainder zinc. They form complete solid solutions and are comparable to the a brasses in their single-phase structure and mechanical properties. They are white in color and used extensively in the manufacture of cutlery. The single-phase alloys are very ductile and can be cold worked and deep drawn and used extensively for the manufacture of "EPNS' electroplated nickel silver.
