Copper Nickel Alloy 70-30

  • Copper Nickel Alloy 70-30
  • 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 1.5 to about 4.5 m/s) waters, including polluted seawater. The alloy is almost insensitive to stress corrosion. It retains its strength well at moderately elevated temperatures, has good cold- and hot-working properties and is readily weldable. The most commonly used wrought forms are plate, sheet, rod and tube. Typical uses include: chemical & marine: tubes and tubeplates for heavy-duty condensers, feedwater heaters and evaporators and fasteners. Mechanical: Fasteners.
