Cupro-Nickel Fasteners are hardware components made from copper-nickel alloys that offer a combination of copper and nickel in varying proportions. The most common grades used for Cupro-Nickel Fasteners are Copper-Nickel 70/30 (C71500) and Copper-Nickel 90/10 (C70600), containing 70% copper and 30% nickel, and 90% copper and 10% nickel, respectively. These alloys also include trace amounts of other elements like iron, manganese, and sometimes small additions of other elements to enhance specific properties.
One of the key features of Cupro-Nickel Fasteners is their exceptional resistance to seawater corrosion and biofouling. These alloys are widely used in marine environments due to their ability to withstand the harsh conditions encountered in seawater. They exhibit superior resistance to marine organisms, chloride-induced corrosion, and erosion, making them ideal for shipbuilding, offshore structures, and seawater-cooled systems.
Another significant feature of Cupro-Nickel Fasteners is their excellent mechanical properties. Depending on the specific grade, these alloys offer a good balance of strength and ductility, making them easy to fabricate, form, and weld. Their high strength allows Cupro-Nickel Fasteners to withstand mechanical stresses and loads encountered in various marine and industrial applications.
Corrosion resistance is a vital quality of Cupro-Nickel Fasteners. The formation of a protective oxide layer in seawater enhances their resistance to corrosion and minimizes the risk of galvanic corrosion when in contact with other metals. This makes them an excellent choice for fastening critical components in marine environments, including propellers, heat exchangers, condensers, and other equipment.
