This five-pound bag contains high-quality nickel silver metal powder, an alloy primarily composed of copper, nickel, and zinc (despite its name, it contains no actual silver). This distinctive powder is prized for its attractive silvery-white appearance, which can be polished to a high shine. Nickel silver offers excellent corrosion resistance, good strength, and often boasts non-magnetic properties, making it versatile for many applications. It is commonly used in decorative arts, jewelry, cold casting, musical instruments, and in specialized electrical components due to its good conductivity and durability. This material provides a beautiful and robust solution for both artistic and technical projects where a silver-like finish and reliable performance are desired.
