General Copper Nickel information
Copper Nickel CuNi alloys are alloys of copper and nickel – with or without other elements – where the zinc content may not be more than 1%. Compared with each other element, nickel has the largest individual content after copper when other elements are present. One should distinguish between wrought alloys when considering other copper alloys that are processed to semi-finished products, and cast alloys where castings are produced by various casting processes. The Cu-Ni alloys with additions of manganese are important in electrical engineering. Additions of iron significantly improve the resistance of Cu-Ni alloys to erosion corrosion in flowing seawater and other aggressive waters.
Copper Nickel CuNi Corrosion Resistance
Copper alloys provide very good resistance to seawater, brine water, organic compounds, salts, diluted non-oxidizing acids, and more. CuNi 90/10 (C70600 & C7060X) is a Copper nickel iron alloy with a small content of manganese that adds excellent resistance to sea- and brackish water. Of all commercial copper alloys, CuNi 70/30 (C71500) provides the best resistance corrosion in watery environments. It is resistant to acid solutions and highly resistant to stress corrosion cracking, and impingement corrosion. In addition, CuNi 70/30 provides greater strength in higher pressures.










Copper Nickel CuNi Heat Resistance
The hot strength of copper increases with only a small addition of nickel. By adding iron, mechanical properties are improved, not only at room temperature, but also at elevated temperatures. 10% Ni. CuNi10Fe1Mn, for example, can be used in pressure vessel construction up to 300°C, CuNi30Mn1Fe up to 350°C. Above these limit temperatures, strength drops markedly, particularly the creep strength and creep strain limit.
Copper Nickel CuNi Heat Treatment
In general, heat treatments are only used with Cu-Ni alloys for soft annealing and stress relieving. Temperatures for recrystallisation annealing can vary over wide limits between about 620 and 900°C, depending on degree of cold work, nickel content and additional constituents. High temperatures are associated with short annealing times (continuous annealing) and low temperatures with long annealing times (static annealing). Stress-relief annealing is carried out at 280 to 500°C. It is advisable to anneal excluding air or in a slightly reducing atmosphere, to avoid the pickling that is required with air-containing annealing atmospheres.
