Advantages of ASME SB111 C71500 Copper Nickel Alloy Seamless Tubes for Marine Condenser Applications
1.Superior Corrosion Resistance
With 29-33% nickel content, C71500 alloy offers exceptional resistance to seawater corrosion, pitting, and biofouling, ensuring long-term durability in marine environments.
2. High Mechanical Strength
Annealed (O61): Tensile strength ≥52 ksi, yield strength ≥18 ksi.
Drawn & Stress-Relieved (HR50): Tensile strength ≥72 ksi, yield strength ≥50 ksi—ideal for high-pressure condenser systems.
3.Excellent Ductility
Elongation ≥15% (thicker walls) to 12% (thin walls) post cold-working, enabling complex installations without cracking.
4.T hermal Stability
Maintains structural integrity under fluctuating temperatures, critical for condensers exposed to steam and seawater.
