Outstanding Corrosion Resistance: Low corrosion rate (≤0.01 mm/a) in humid, seawater, and weak acid environments.
Excellent Machinability: Excellent cold working performance, supports processes such as stamping, stretching, and electroplating, with a high surface finish.
Comprehensive Mechanical Properties: Combines high strength with moderate plasticity, suitable for precision component manufacturing.
Electronics Industry: Shielding covers, resonator housings (high-precision electromagnetic shielding requirements).
Precision Machinery: Camera parts, optical templates, rivets, screws (high wear resistance and dimensional stability requirements).
Daily Necessities: Tableware, eyeglass frames, nameplates (balance of aesthetics and corrosion resistance).
Automotive and Marine: Corrosion-resistant valves, instrument parts (requiring protective coatings for use).
Annealing Process: After cold working, anneal at 600-750℃ to eliminate internal stresses and prevent cracking.
Machining: It is recommended to use carbide tools, with a cutting speed of ≤60 m/min. The coolant should contain extreme pressure additives.
Welding Process: Preferably use argon arc welding or laser welding to avoid porosity caused by zinc and nickel evaporation.
Environmental Compliance: Low lead content (≤0.03%), but waste materials should still be processed according to environmental regulations.
Chemical Composition and Processing Specifications: GB/T 5231-2012, ASTM B36 (American Standard for Plates).
Mechanical Property Testing: GB/T 228.1 (Tensile Test).
Note: The above data is compiled from various industrial standards and technical documents. Actual performance may vary slightly due to production processes, and the specific results should be based on the supplier's test report.
