UNS C71500 Copper Nickel Bar
Improved strength
UNS C71500 copper nickel bars (also called cupronickel) include 30% nickel, providing greater strength.
The alloy is a direct equivalent of copper-nickel 70/30, including traces of iron and manganese in the alloying me to increase corrosion resistance. UNS C71500 offers medium to high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, making the product highly suitable for various commercial engineering applications. The alloy is similar to UNS 70600 but with improved strength characteristics.
Engineering Benefits
The material promotes good creep resistance at elevated temperatures and is straightforward to machine, weld, and form. However, the main benefit of UNS C71500 is the alloy's resistance to corrosion in marine atmospheres. The product is suitable for various applications in the above-sea and subsea engineering sectors, including condenser tubes, pipework, flanges, valves, and pump components.
Performance
Like similar products in this range, UNS C71500 offers superior corrosion and biofouling resistance in saltwater environments. The alloy also promotes resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking. The alloy's antimicrobial characteristics make the product ideal for sanitised operating environments, such as hospitals, clean rooms, and food preparation areas.
