The 3J21 Cobalt-Chromium-Nickel Alloy Wire, often known as Elgiloy, is a superelastic alloy engineered for high-strength elastic component strips. Its unique composition—cobalt, chromium, nickel, and molybdenum—gives it exceptional mechanical properties. Cold-drawn for precision and heat-treated for strength, this wire offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent fatigue resistance. It performs reliably from -60°C to +200°C, with a low thermal expansion coefficient (10–12 × 10⁻⁶/°C) and superb corrosion resistance against acids and saline environments.
With a density of ~8.3 g/cm³ and electrical resistivity of ~1.0 μΩ·m, our 3J21 wire is ideal for both mechanical and electrical applications. We offer it in various diameters and can customize compositions to meet your needs, making it a versatile choice for elastic strips and springs in demanding settings.
