Alloy information - Paliney 5

Paliney 5 represents a significant breakthrough in high-quality electronic alloys. The first addition to the Paliney family in more than 20 years, Paliney 5 opens up a whole new range of options for low-voltage, sliding-contact applications.

In fact, the uses for this affordable new alloy are growing all the time. A unique blend of silver and palladium, Paliney 5 is the ideal choice when requirements call for a cost-effective, long-lasting material that endures severe environmental and wear conditions, elevated temperatures and corrosion.

This heat-treatable alloy is exceptionally durable because it combines three features: high hardness to resist wear, high yield strength for miniaturization without losing gram force and excellent stress relaxation characteristics to withstand service temperatures up to 150 degrees Celcius.

In many applications, Paliney 5 provides similar mechanical and corrosion properties as Paliney 6, a related member of the Paliney family. This varied group of alloys can take the extreme punishment of today's aggressive industrial environments. For the highest quality in sliding-contact applications, turn to Ney. We set the standard for performance.
