Copper Nickel Alloy 90-10

  • Copper Nickel Alloy 90-10
  • General Characteristics

    A copper-nickel alloy with an alpha-phase structure. Small amounts of iron and manganese are added to improve corrosion resistance in high-velocity (from 1 to about 3.5 m/s) waters, including seawater. The alloy is relatively insensitive to stress corrosion. It has good cold- and hot- working properties and is readily weldable.  The most commonly used wrought forms are plate, sheet and tube. Typical applications include tubes & tubeplates for light-duty condensers, feedwater heaters and evaporators, power stations & multi-core cabled tubes for hydraulic and pneumatic lines.
