[0002] Strain gauge Constantan foil is a copper-nickel alloy widely used in strain measurement and resistor manufacturing. It is composed of approximately 55% copper and 45% nickel (Cu 55 Ni 45 ) is characterized by its resistance to temperature changes and high resistivity. It has a low temperature coefficient of resistivity and medium resistivity, making it a core component of resistance strain gauges and ultimately applicable to electronic products such as large aircraft test components and reader / writer pens.
