AgNi(10-20)

The nickel grains in the material are of fiber structure. The material has high conductivity, and low and stable contact resistance; good  resistance against welding and electric wear.  Material transfer is very little under DC condition.  Increasing nickel content can improve the welding resistance but will also increase the contact resistance and temperature rise.

Widely used to AC or DC relays, command switches, contactors, optical controlled switches, temperature controllers and machine timers, etc.
