Constantan

Constantan is a copper-nickel alloy usually consisting of 55% copper and 45% nickel. Also known as Eureka, Advance and Ferry. Its main feature is its resistivity, which is constant over a wide range of temperatures. Other alloys with similarly low temperature coefficients are known, such as manganin.

Definition of constantan in the English dictionary

The definition of constantan in the dictionary is an alloy of copper and nickel. It has a high resistivity that does not vary significantly with temperature and is used in resistors and, with copper, in thermocouples.
