Copper Alloys C71520 | Product Overview
Introduction To Copper Alloys C71520 / CU-NI 70/30
MOKSH TUBES & FITTINGS LLP proudly supplies and exports Copper Nickel C71520, a high-performance variant of the traditional CU-NI 70/30 (UNS C71500) alloy. This enhanced copper-nickel alloy offers improved mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and erosion resistance over conventional grades.
Copper Alloys C71520, is a controlled composition Copper-Nickel Alloy with approximately 70% copper and 30% nickel, with additions of iron and manganese for increased resistance to seawater flow, cavitation, and stress corrosion cracking. It is specially formulated for high-velocity seawater environments and heat exchanger service. This alloy is often specified in naval, offshore, desalination, and thermal power applications.
