What is a C70600 copper nickel tube?
C70600 pipe, also known as CuNi 90/10 pipe, UNS C70600 pipe, ASTM B466 C70600 copper-nickel pipe, or Cupro Nickel 90/10 pipe, conforms to ASME B36.19M, DIN 86019, EEMUA 144, and MIL-T-16420 standards. C70600 pipe is durable and maintains its performance even in harsh environments such as saltwater. The main forged copper-nickel alloy used in seawater environments contains 10% or 30% nickel. In addition, important iron and manganese elements are added to maintain good corrosion resistance. C70600 copper-nickel alloy (10% nickel content) is suitable for applications requiring high corrosion resistance and stress cracking resistance. C70600 copper-nickel alloy (10% nickel content) is known for its moderate strength, good weldability, and formability.
