FAQ's

What is Copper Nickel 70/30 and how is it different from 90/10?

Copper Nickel 70/30, also known as UNS C71500 or CW354H, is a copper alloy containing about 70% copper and 30% nickel with small additions of iron and manganese. Compared to Copper Nickel 90/10, the 70/30 grade offers greater mechanical strength, improved corrosion resistance, and excellent durability in highly aggressive environments such as fast-flowing seawater and chemical processing systems.

What are the main benefits of using Copper Nickel 70/30 alloy?

The key benefits of Copper Nickel 70/30 include outstanding resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, biofouling, and stress cracking in both stagnant and turbulent seawater. It is stronger than CU-NI 90/10, performs reliably under thermal cycling, and is resistant to acidic and saline environments. Additionally, it has excellent weldability with minimal pre or post-heat treatment requirements, making it a reliable choice for marine and offshore installations.

Where is Copper Nickel 70/30 commonly used?

Copper Nickel 70/30 is widely used in marine and shipbuilding industries for seawater piping, condenser plates, valves, and propeller sleeves. It is a preferred material in power plants for feedwater heaters, condensers, and cooling water lines, in desalination plants for brine heaters and evaporator shells, and in offshore oil and gas for firewater systems, risers, and deck piping. Defense and naval sectors also use it extensively for submarine systems and hull-mounted components due to its long term performance in harsh environments.
