2.4060 (DIN 17740 : 1983-02) Ni99,6 2.4060 DIN 17740 : 1983-02 DIN 17740 : 1983-02 replaced by DIN 17740 : 2002-09 Replaced Germany Ni99,6 3.4 ≤ 700 1)
1) Remark: Ni99.6 (pure nickel) is, inter alia, a resistance material. With wire, the attainable tensile strength is 450 N/mm². The material distinguishes itself by a relatively low electric resistance and by a very high temperature coefficient of the electric resistance. The upper application temperature in air is 700 °C. Up to a temperature of approximately 350 degrees C, pure nickel is ferro-magnetic. Ni99.6 has very good scale-resistance, it has very good resistance to corrosion and is of good suitability for soft-soldering and brazing. Application: Preferably for the manufacturing of connections at heater elements.
