The 3J21 Superelastic Alloy Wire, also known as Elgiloy, is a cobalt-chromium-nickel alloy built for durability and performance. Its unique blend of cobalt, chromium, nickel, and molybdenum gives it superelasticity, high strength, and excellent corrosion resistance. Processed through cold-drawing and heat treatment, this wire is designed to handle dynamic loads and extreme environments, with a temperature range of -60°C to +200°C. Its low thermal expansion coefficient (10–12 × 10⁻⁶/°C), density of ~8.3 g/cm³, and electrical resistivity of ~1.0 μΩ·m make it a versatile choice for precision applications.
We offer 3J21 in various diameters and can customize its composition to fit your specific requirements, ensuring it’s ready for your instrument components, whether they’re springs, strips, or sensors.
| Grades | Density (g/cm³) | Electrical Resistivity (10⁻⁶ Ω·cm) | Thermal Conductivity (W/m·K) | Modulus of Elasticity (GPa) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Elongation at Break (%) | Elastic Limit (MPa) | Fatigue Life (cycles) | Working Temperature Range (°C) | Temperature Coefficient |
| 8.1 | 80 | 11 | 144 | 800 | 1000 | 10 | 800 | >10⁷ | -60 to 200 | Extremely low temperature coefficient of elasticity | |
| 8.3 | 120 | 40 | 125 | 300 | 600 | 20 | 300 | >10⁷ | -40 to 150 | Elasticity remains constant with minimal temperature sensitivity | |
| 8.2 | 100 | 15 | 180 | 1100 | 1400 | 5 | 1100 | >10⁶ | -200 to 500 | Maintains high strength even at elevated temperatures |
