Copper Nickel 90/10, also known as CuNi 90/10 or C70600, is a copper-based alloy containing approximately:
This alloy is widely recognized for its excellent resistance to seawater corrosion, biofouling, and erosion. Compared to Copper Nickel 70/30, the 90/10 grade offers slightly lower strength but superior formability and cost-effectiveness, making it ideal for moderate seawater flow conditions and general marine applications.
Copper Nickel 90/10 wires are extensively used in shipbuilding, desalination plants, condensers, heat exchangers, offshore platforms, and coastal infrastructure due to their exceptional durability and long service life.
Key Features of Copper Nickel 90/10 Wires
Copper Nickel 90/10 wires provide numerous performance benefits:
These features make CuNi 90/10 wires a reliable and cost-efficient solution for marine and industrial applications.
The typical chemical composition includes:
| Element | Composition (%) |
|---|---|
| Copper (Cu) | Balance (~86–90%) |
| Nickel (Ni) | 9–11% |
| Iron (Fe) | 1.0–1.8% |
| Manganese (Mn) | 0.5–1.0% |
| Carbon (C) | 0.05% max |
| Lead (Pb) | 0.05% max |
| Zinc (Zn) | 1.0% max |
Role of Alloying Elements
The balanced composition ensures optimal performance in marine and chloride-rich environments.
These properties make the alloy suitable for demanding structural and marine applications where both strength and corrosion resistance are critical.
