Principal Design Features		A very high purity nickel, 99.95% nickel, containing only traces of minor elements often considered deleterious.

Applications		Resistance thermometers, electronic cathodes or anodes, fluorescent light components.

Machinability		May be machined by conventional means, although the alloy is soft and "gummy". High-speed-steel tooling with very positive rake angle is recommended.

Forming		Easily formed by conventional means.

Welding		May be welded by conventional means. Note that the good thermal conductivity of this material means that welding heat will dissipate from the immediate weld area.

Heat Treatment		May be annealed from the cold worked state at 1500 F and air cooled.

Forging		The alloy may be forged at temperatures of 1900 F to 1300 F.

Hot Working		Hot working may be done in the range of 1800 F to 1300 F.

Cold Working		The material has excellent ductility and may be readily cold formed by conventional means. Severe cold working will cause hardening and it may be necessary to anneal a cold worked product.

Annealing		Anneal at 1500 F and air cool.

Hardening		Hardens due to cold working only.
