Copper Nickel Alloy UNS C70600 Is Ideal For Marine Applications

UNS C70600 is a copper-nickel alloy with a copper content of 90% and a nickel content of 10%. It also contains minor amounts of iron and manganese. UNS C70600 has excellent mechanical properties, such as high tensile strength, yield strength, and hardness. UNS C70600 is widely used in engineering applications, such as heat exchangers, condenser tubes, seawater piping systems, and marine hardware. Its excellent resistance to corrosion makes it ideal for use in seawater and other harsh environments. The alloy is also used in the oil and gas industry, where it is used for pipeline transportation, refining, and storage facilities.UNS C70600 can be annealed at temperatures ranging from 1100°F to 1600°F for 10 minutes per inch of material thickness. Post-annealing rapid quenching is recommended to prevent grain growth. The alloy can also be hardened by cold working, which increases its tensile strength and hardness.
