Core Advantages

  • All-Round Corrosion Resistance: Adaptable to harsh environments.

  • Processing Flexibility: Compatible with cold rolling, stamping, and welding.

  • Long Service Life: Low maintenance with anti-fouling properties.


Applications

  • Marine Engineering: Desalination pipes, ship valves, condenser tubes.

  • Chemical Industry: Heat exchangers, reactor linings, acid transfer pipes.

  • Electronics: Precision connectors, resistor substrates.

  • Decoration: High-end cutlery, architectural trim.


Processing Guidelines

1. Cold Working: Anneal at 650–750°C to relieve stress.

2. Welding: Use TIG welding; post-weld acid cleaning required.

3. Machining: Low-speed cutting with lubricants.

4. Surface Treatment: Polishing/coating for enhanced durability.


Key Application Scenarios

  • Desalination Plants: Corrosion-resistant piping.

  • Petrochemical Refineries: Acid-resistant components.

  • Luxury Appliances: Functional and decorative metal parts.


FAQs

Q1: How does CuNi12Zn24 differ from B10 cupronickel?

A: B10 has 10% Ni and lower corrosion resistance; CuNi12Zn24 offers optimized Ni-Zn balance.


Q2: Suitable for high-temperature steam?

A: Recommended ≤150°C for long-term use; short-term tolerance up to 200°C.


Q3: How to avoid cracking during processing?

A: Control cold deformation rate and anneal promptly.
