C70600 CU-NI 90/10 Copper Tube
ASTM B466 C70600 Copper Nickel Pipes
Products Description
UNS-C70600 copper-nickel tubing offers excellent resistance to seawater corrosion and biofouling. Copper-nickel alloys offer strong resistance to seawater environments.
There are two common alloys, with nickel contents of 10% and 30%, respectively.
The 10% nickel alloy of UNS-C70600 copper-nickel tubing is the most widely used alloy in seawater treatment applications.
