4. Product Advantages

• Excellent Seawater Corrosion Resistance: Outstanding resistance to uniform and localized corrosion in marine environments, with only 0.5mm corrosion allowance for 20 years of service

• Superior Biofouling Resistance: Natural resistance to marine organism attachment due to copper ion release

• Great Weldability & Formability: Single-phase alpha structure enables excellent fabrication properties, suitable for hot and cold forming, and traditional welding procedures without preheating

• High Ductility & Toughness: Maintains mechanical properties even at cryogenic temperatures

5. Product Functions

• Provides reliable anti-corrosion protection in saltwater and brackish water environments

• Delivers long-term service life with minimal maintenance requirements

• Offers stable mechanical performance across a wide temperature range

• Enables flexible fabrication through various processing methods including sawing, drilling, and turning

6. Usage Instructions

• Cutting: Use carbide-tipped tools for optimal cutting performance

• Welding: Gas-shielded arc welding and butt welding recommended; no preheating required at room temperature

• Forming: Excellent cold-workability for bending and shaping operations

• Surface Treatment: Pickling or polishing available upon request

7. Precautions

• Avoid excessive heat input during welding to prevent deformation

• Control welding parameters (current, arc voltage, wire feed speed) within recommended ranges

• Material is susceptible to stress corrosion cracking at high temperatures – temperature and stress should be controlled during use

• Maintain composition standards with P & S ≤0.02%, Zn ≤0.5%, Pb ≤0.02% for welding consumables
