Copper-nickel pipes are commonly used in marine environments, desalination plants, offshore oil rigs, and heat exchangers thanks to their strong resistance to seawater corrosion and biofouling.
Copper-nickel is known for its outstanding corrosion resistance, high strength, and excellent thermal stability. It also resists biofouling and is easy to fabricate and weld, making it perfect for tough environments
Yes, copper-nickel is incredibly durable. It can endure harsh marine and industrial conditions, including saltwater, high pressure, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring a long-lasting performance.
The main drawbacks are that copper-nickel tends to be more expensive than some other alloys and can experience galvanic corrosion if paired with incompatible metals. However, these risks can be minimized with proper design and insulation.
Copper-nickel alloys can generally tolerate temperatures as high as 400°C (752°F) without compromising their structural integrity, making them ideal for high-temperature environments.
