Cu ni alloy ASME SB 466 USN C70600 pipe and pipe fittings
Copper Nickel can be bent without special tools. Pure copper is not as strong as other alloyed metals. Therefore, copper-nickel alloy pipes include materials such as iron and manganese for added strength.
Copper Nickel is a recognized plumbing alloy for many navies around the world. It is also used in merchant marine, power industry and offshore for various purposes. Cupro nickel tubes can be welded easily and have good pitting resistance. Therefore, copper pipes can be used for groundwater pipelines. Cunifer Pipes are also resistant to biological contamination or the accumulation of organisms on them. For this reason, copper is used in the hull to avoid cluttering the hull with aquatic life.
