About
Nickel silver sheet is a copper-based alloy containing 10-25% nickel and 5-35% zinc, with no actual silver content. Also known as German silver or alpaca, this corrosion-resistant metal is manufactured through hot rolling and cold working processes from melted base metals. The alloy offers excellent workability, attractive silver-like appearance, and superior strength compared to brass. Primary applications include jewelry making, musical instrument components, decorative hardware, electrical contacts, and precision parts. Makers value nickel silver for its malleability, ability to hold fine detail when stamped or engraved, and resistance to tarnishing. Available in various thicknesses and tempers, it can be easily soldered, brazed, and formed. The material's acoustic properties make it particularly popular for wind instrument manufacturing, while its hypoallergenic nature suits jewelry applications. Industrial users appreciate its dimensional stability and electrical conductivity for switch components and connectors.
