Cu-Mn Manganin Wire Applications:
a) It is used for making wire wound precision resistance
b) Resistance boxes
c) Shunts for electrical measuring instruments
CuMn12Ni4 Manganin Wire is also used in gauges for studies of high-pressure shock waves (such as those generated from the detonation of explosives) because it has low strain sensitivity but high hydrostatic pressure sensitivity.
