Description
70/30 is a 70% copper, 30% nickel alloy with additions of iron and manganese. These elemental additions make it somewhat more resistant to corrosion and erosion and with slightly improved strength level than 90/10, making it suitable for more demanding applications. In particular, its corrosion resistance is notably improved in high-velocity waters (up to 4.5m/s) and polluted seawater.
Key Features of 70/30
- Excellent corrosion and pitting resistance in marine environments
- Good strength and toughness
- Resistance to befouling
- Readily wieldable and fabricated
