Copper nickel alloys are alloys that have moderate strength and thermal stability in high temperature levels. The high oxidation
Contact
resistance of these alloys is visible in moist air and steam. (/contact.aspx)
Copper nickel alloys have 2 to 30% nickel, high oxidation resistance and
stress corrosion cracking resistance.
Newsletters (/newsletters)
Copper nickel alloys have good fabricability and high inherent resistance to biofouling. The addition of manganese, niobium, iron and

or chromium in these alloys improves their corrosion resistance and strength.
Copper nickel alloys are of two types that include 90/10 and 70/30. The 90/10 alloys are widely used as they are inexpensive. The
90/10 copper nickel alloys have great resistance to sea water corrosion due to the presence of signi cant amounts of manganese and
iron.
