What kind of metal are attys made of?

Can anyone tell me what metals make up a 510 or 901 atty?

Well, in general its stainless steel, brass (or aluminum) threaded base, and nichrome wire.

Maast isn't the mesh covering the bridge and wrapping the cup of the atty nickle based? So that would add another to the list of metals used right?

I'd forgotten the mesh, I dont know what its made out of. As I've never had any corrosion problems so I've always assumed it was more stainless, but it could very well be nickel for cost savings.

Old post but still valid so nickle is in the list of metals
