Just been raking through my parts bins and found a couple of rolls of silver wire marked 'Constantan' - i was looking for nichrome (sp?) the heating element stuff.
Anyway - what is this constantan stuff and what is it used for?
i googled it and it appears to be a copper/nickel alloy for strain testing, but i dont understand how it would be used.
any suggestions on what and how to use it?
thanks
