Physical Properties
The physical properties of copper-nickel alloys vary according to composition. Melting range temperatures, electrical resistivity and modulus of elasticity increase with nickel content. However, thermal conductivity decreases as the percent of nickel increases. Typical physical properties of copper-nickel alloys are illustrated below.
5.6: Resistivity and Resistance
The resistivity of a material is a measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electrical current. The symbol for resistivity is the lowercase Greek letter rho, (rho), and resistivity is the reciprocal of electrical conductivity: [rho = dfrac{1}{sigma}.] The unit of resistivity in SI units is the ohm-meter ((Omega cdot m).
