Nickel silver is a mixture of Copper, Zinc & Nickel, usually with 10% to 18% Nickel content. The colour of the material varies, dependant upon the Nickel content. It has good corrosion resistance & electrical conductivity.

NOTE OF INTEREST
The use in Cutlery as EPNS (electro plated nickel silver) is due in no small part to the silver colour of the alloy; so that as the plating wears thin or as knives are sharpened the colour change is not so obvious.
