Manganin is a highly precise electrical resistance alloy that is composed of copper, manganese, and nickel. This alloy is known for its exceptional properties, which include high resistivity, low-temperature coefficient of resistance, and very low thermal effect against copper. Additionally, manganin exhibits excellent performance of electrical resistance over long periods of time. There are several types of manganin available, including 6J13, 6J8, and 6J12. These different types offer varying levels of resistance and can be chosen based on the specific needs of the application. Overall, manganin is an excellent choice for applications that require precise electrical resistance and long-term stability.
Manganin wire is a popular choice for low-voltage instrumentation applications where high precision is required. To ensure optimal performance, it is important to stabilize the resistors carefully and avoid exposing them to temperatures above +60°C. If the maximum working temperature is exceeded, the wire may oxidize and cause a resistance drift, which can negatively impact long-term stability. This can result in slight changes to the resistivity and temperature coefficient of the electric resistance.
Despite this potential issue, manganin wire remains a cost-effective replacement material for silver solder in hard metal mounting applications. Its versatility and reliability make it a go-to choice for many industries that require precise measurements and stable performance over time. By carefully selecting and using manganin wire, engineers and technicians can ensure that their instrumentation systems operate at peak efficiency and accuracy.

Characteristic
Pure copper plus nickel can significantly improve strength, corrosion resistance, hardness, electrical resistance and pyroelectricity, and reduce the temperature coefficient of resistivity. Therefore, the mechanical and physical properties of white copper are exceptionally better than other copper alloys.
Good ductility, high hardness, beautiful color, corrosion resistance and deep drawing performance, are widely used in shipbuilding, petrochemical, electrical appliances, instruments, medical machinery, daily necessities, handicrafts and other fields, and are also important resistance and thermocouple alloys. The disadvantage of cupronickel is the main added element - nickel is a scarce strategic material, and the price is relatively expensive.
