Alloy Grade UNS: C96200 – 90 Cu-10 Ni.

  • Overview

    C96200, commonly referred to as 90 Cu-10 Ni, is a copper-nickel alloy renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly in seawater environments. This alloy, composed of approximately 90% copper and 10% nickel, exhibits excellent resistance to biofouling, erosion-corrosion, and stress-corrosion cracking, making it a preferred choice for marine applications. Its inherent strength and durability further contribute to its suitability for demanding environments where components are exposed to harsh conditions and corrosive elements. C96200 also offers good thermal conductivity and excellent weldability, making it readily adaptable to various manufacturing processes and applications where heat transfer and structural integrity are crucial.

Non-Ferrous

Non-ferrous alloys are, literally, materials that are not iron-based. While others may provide non-ferrous materials of other materials, the MetalTek family of non-ferrous alloys are copper-based. In general, these materials deliver high strength, and excellent wear and corrosion resistance. They are often found in marine applications and also bushing, bearing, and gear environments.
Stainless Steel Parts

Stainless Steel

Stainless steels owe their ability to resist corrosion primarily to the presence of a passive film on their surface. Chromium is chiefly responsible for formation of the passive film. Iron ceases to rust at approximately 12% chromium content and resistance to oxidizing corrosives increases rapidly with chromium content up to approximately 20%.
Petrochemical Fittings

Specialty Alloys

Specialty Alloys comprise a broad group of materials that deliver properties for more demanding applications, use more exotic or expensive materials, or require special processes to manufacture. Where standard materials may not offer desired performance, specialty alloys (including those that are modified further) may be a sensible selection.
