Cu-Ni 70/30 (C71500)
Copper Nickel 70/30 (C71500) is a high-performance marine alloy containing 70% copper, 30% nickel, and small additions of iron and manganese for enhanced strength and corrosion resistance. Known for its excellent resistance to seawater attack, erosion, cavitation, and marine fouling, Cu-Ni 70/30 is widely used in desalination plants, shipbuilding, offshore platforms, heat exchangers, and high-pressure piping systems.
Compared to Cu-Ni 90/10, C71500 offers superior mechanical strength, higher resistance to impingement attack, and better performance in fast-flowing seawater, making it the preferred choice for harsh marine environments.
Saifex Industries supplies Cu-Ni 70/30 in various forms including plates, sheets, tubes, pipes, coils, bars, fittings, and flanges, all conforming to global standards such as ASTM B122, B151, B466, B552, B467 & MIL-T-16420K.
This alloy offers exceptional resistance to:
-
High-velocity seawater & brine flow
-
Biofouling and microorganism attack
-
Chloride pitting & crevice corrosion
-
Stress corrosion cracking
-
Erosion from suspended solids
With its long service life and robust performance, Cu-Ni 70/30 is the material of choice for heat exchangers, seawater handling systems, marine hardware, and critical components exposed to harsh coastal environments.
Saifex Industries serves clients in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the UAE, providing high-quality copper-nickel alloys engineered for reliability and longevity.
