For Marine Applications
Supporting the Maritime Sector
Our copper nickel bars offer a wealth of attractive performance characteristics, making them highly suitable for various engineering applications.
Copper nickel bars benefit from good strength and excellent corrosion resistance while retaining good ductility. Corrosion resistance in marine atmospheres is particularly impressive, and our alloys find consistent use in offshore markets, both above the water line and below.
Applications
With less susceptibility to bio-fouling, our products are attractive engineering materials for pipework, pipe fittings and flanges.
Stock Range
We stock a range of standard copper-nickel alloys in solid round bars that are available for immediate supply. We also supply copper-nickel under other specifications, including DEF STAN, ASTM and Euro Norm (EN).

Hydrogen Embrittlement
The absorption of hydrogen can cause an alloy to become brittle, putting the finished component at risk.
Such a failure can be potentially catastrophic for pressurised vessels and boilers. A pressure vessel or boiler could quickly explode.
Copper nickel offers resistance to hydrogen embrittlement (also referred to as hydrogen-induced cracking), which gives engineers more confidence in the service life of equipment before replacement.
Stock Portfolio
We stock solid round bars in various copper nickel grades which are available for immediate supply.
We accurately cut your copper nickel bars to custom lengths and to close tolerances. We perform all these tasks in-house.
Our UKAS Accredited Materials Testing Laboratory is unique to the UK stockholding sector and we provide our customers with comprehensive metallurgical support.
