CUPRO NICKEL 90/10

About CUPRO NICKEL 90/10

Cupro Nickel 90/10 (UNS C70600, DIN 2.0872) is a copper-nickel alloy containing 90% copper and 10% nickel, with small additions of iron and manganese for enhanced strength and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in marine, chemical, and power industries due to its excellent resistance to seawater corrosion, biofouling, and stress corrosion cracking.
