View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)

Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.

HITENSO 162 is a copper-cadmium alloy that offers a unique combination of high tensile strength and high electrical conductivity in wire where ordinarily these properties are incompatible. It also is noted for its malleability and toughness. Among its many uses are heating pads, electric blankets, current-carrying rings and electrical contacts.
