Are you sure that's correct?
I thought Cunifer/Kunifer was mainly copper, with a little nickel etc added not the other way round - ie circa 90% copper not mainly nickel.
The finish may vary slightly but generally copper coloured just a little lighter (bronzey/gold) :thumb:
Please please just look at my picture of the two, side by side in the picture I posted earlier in the thread. It is very clear how they look, :frustrated:mr gill said:X51 996 said:mr gill said:Kunifer can look indistinguishable from copper, the nickel content can range from over 93% down to 68% depending which alloy grade is used...
