Introduction to copper nickel 7030 tubes

Date:2025-04-25

Copper-Nickel 70/30 tubes—composed of 70% copper and 30% nickel—are known for their outstanding corrosion resistance, particularly in seawater environments. The addition of small amounts of iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) further enhances the alloy’s strength, durability, and resistance to erosion and biofouling. These tubes are widely used in critical applications such as marine systems, desalination plants, heat exchangers, and power plant condensers, where high performance under corrosive and high-velocity conditions is essential.
