Tin Nickel Master Alloy
Tin Nickel Master Alloy – High Purity 5% and 10% Nickel in Tin Base
The Tin Nickel Master Alloy from DKL Metals allows for easy and controlled introduction of high-temperature Nickel into much lower-melting tin-based alloys. Widely used in the mass production of high-grade electronic solders such as Nihon Superior SN100C and its imitations, it is also essential in specialized bearing (Babbitt) alloys designed for demanding industrial applications.
Manufactured exclusively from 99.9% virgin tin and nickel, our master alloys deliver dependable, consistent composition and quality.
