JLC 400/410 is a nickel-copper, solid-solution alloy with excellent resistance to corrosion in reducing atmosphere along with good mechanical properties. It is widely used in wire mesh and filters for chemical and petrochemical industry. Also used for mechanical applications in cold-headed parts and fasteners. The wire is used in lamp industry extensively as a fuse wire in lead-in-wires.
JLC 500 is a nickel-copper alloy containing 3% of aluminum (Al) and 0.6% of titanium (Ti) as additional alloying elements, are heat-treatable and may be strengthened by precipitation hardening. It is mainly required in applications needing corrosion resistant properties.
