Core Advantages

  • Extreme Environment Adaptability: Suitable for deep-sea and harsh chemical environments.

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

  • Low Maintenance: Anti-fouling and wear-resistant properties extend service life.


Applications

  • Marine Engineering: Deep-sea valves, condensers, pump components.

  • Energy & Chemical: Acid-resistant pipelines, refinery heat exchangers.

  • Electronics: High-precision connectors, resistor substrates.

  • Luxury Goods: Watch cases, jewelry accessories.


Processing Guidelines

1. Cold Working: Limit deformation to ≤30% per pass; anneal at 700–800°C.

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

3. Machining: Carbide tools with low speed and lubricants.

4. Surface Treatment: Electro-polishing or rhodium plating for enhanced finish.


Key Application Scenarios

  • Deep-Sea Equipment: High-pressure corrosion-resistant valves.

  • Nuclear Power Plants: Chloride-resistant heat transfer tubes.

  • Luxury Watchmaking: Sweat-resistant watch bands.


FAQs

Q1: How does CuNi18Zn27 differ from CuNi12Zn24?

A: CuNi18Zn27 has higher Ni content (17–19%) for enhanced corrosion resistance and strength.


Q2: Suitable for high-temperature/pressure environments?

A: Long-term use ≤180°C; short-term tolerance up to 250°C (pressure-dependent).


Q3: How to prevent cracking during processing?

A: Control cold deformation rate and anneal promptly.
