Products Description
C70600 copper-nickel tubes, composed of 90% copper and 10% nickel, are engineered for exceptional corrosion and biofouling resistance in harsh marine and industrial environments. This alloy offers superior resistance to impingement attack, stress corrosion cracking, and seawater-induced erosion, making it a trusted choice for high-velocity cooling systems.
Thanks to their durability and anti-fouling properties, CuNi 90/10 tubes are widely used in marine condensers, heat exchangers, and desalination plants, where they outperform other copper alloys under demanding thermal and chemical conditions.
Typical Uses for C706 Copper Nickel "90/10"
Automotive: Power Steering Tube, Brake Lines
Consumer: Screw Lamp Bases
Industrial: Condenser Plates, Condensers, Weld Torch Tips, Heat Exchanger Tubes, Valve Bodies, Evaporator Tubes, Pressure Vessels, Distiller Tubes, Pump Impellers for Oil Refining, Ferrules, Evaporators
Marine: Boat Hulls, Tube Sheet for Salt Water Service, Salt Water Pipe Fittings, Salt Water Piping Systems, Salt Water Piling Wrap, Hot Water Tanks, Salt Water Baffles, Propeller Sleeves, Ship Hulls, Water Hoses
Plumbing: Flanges
