COPPER NICKEL ALLOY SEAMLESS TUBE, ASTM B111/ASME SB111 C70600
COPPER NICKEL ALLOY SEAMLESS TUBE, ASTM B111/ASME SB111 C70600
Overview
Copper nickel C70600 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.
Copper Nickel C70600 is also known as Copper Nickel 90/10 because it is made up of 10% nickel or as ASTM B111 and ASME SB111. What's more, C70600 has the moderate strength, weldability, and formability. The inclusion of controlled quantities of iron and manganese also give the 90/10 alloy an extraordinary resistance to general corrosion and stress cracking, as well as to erosion and impingement due to turbulent water containing air bubbles and silt flowing at high velocities.
