One of the most extensively used alloys in the industry for producing high-quality fasteners is copper-nickel alloy. When it comes to creating fasteners, the alloy is selected because to its grade properties and other general characteristics. Additionally, because to the enormous market need, companies are now producing more Cu-Ni Fasteners. There are only two fundamental types of copper-nickel alloy: 90/10 and 70/30. Outstanding resistance to corrosion, resistance to aqueous conditions, and resistance to pitting in an acidic environment are the fundamental general features shared by both grades. The grade also possesses great toughness, high strength, good resistance to biofouling environments, excellent ductility, and resistance to low temperature coefficient.
When compared to alloys without the nickel element, the copper-nickel alloy’s nickel content aids in improving/maintaining the strength under high temperatures and pressure. Cu-Ni Fasteners are widely employed in the piping and sea water machine industries because of the alloy’s excellent resistance to the environment of sea water corrosion. These fasteners can be utilized in suspension systems and other high temperature environments because the alloy does not require any sort of surface protection.
