C70600 Copper Nickel (90/10)
C70600 Copper Nickel, commonly referred to as cupronickel, is a family of copper-nickel alloys known for their excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in marine environments, and good thermal and electrical conductivity, making them ideal for applications such as heat exchangers, condenser tubes, and components in the naval and marine industries.
Standards: ASTM B-151. ASTM B-122. DIN 2.0872
C70600 (C706) & C71500 (C715), Copper nickel offers excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine salt water environments. The main, wrought copper-nickel alloys chosen for sea water service contain 10 or 30 percent nickel. They also have important additions of iron and manganese which are necessary to maintain good corrosion resistance. Some of the primary uses for C706 include copper nickel fittings (CuNi Fittings) as well as condensers and exchanger shells.
