Tin Nickel Master Alloy
Allows for easy introduction of high-temperature Nickel to much lower-melting temperature tin-based alloys. This Master alloy is used predominantly in mass production of high-grade electronic solders such as Nihon Superior SN100C (and the many imitations that have followed), and also some special grades of bearing (Babbitt) alloys for demanding applications.
Our Tin Nickel Master Alloys are made only from 99.9% virgin Tin and Nickel, giving a dependable and consistent analysis.
Available in 5% and 10% Nickel, balance Tin.
