Nilo 36 Wire Description
Nilo 36 Wire is a nickel-iron, a low-expansion alloy containing 36% Nickel. It maintains near-constant dimensions over the range of normal atmospheric temperatures and has a low coefficient of expansion from cryogenic temperatures to about 500℃ (930℉). Nilo 36 also retains good strength and toughness at cryogenic temperatures.
