Corson Alloys

NKC8738S

High Performance Corson Alloy NKC8738S
(UNS Alloy No. C70390)

Features

  • NKC8738S has same chemical composition as NKC8738, but it has low modulus of elasticity than conventional Corson Alloys through process optimizing.
  • NKC8738S is a Corson alloy with excellent strength, conductivity and bend formability.
  • NKC8738S contributes to the miniaturization, high density, narrow pitch, and reducing heat generation of electronic components such as connector terminals and CPU sockets.
