Product Overview

What are Cupro Nickel 90/10 Studs?

Cupro Nickel 90/10 studs are threaded fasteners manufactured from a copper-nickel alloy containing 90% copper and 10% nickel, designated as UNS C70600. These studs are produced from ASTM B151 or B466 bar and rod, offering excellent resistance to seawater corrosion, biofouling, and stress corrosion cracking. The alloy’s inherent toughness and ductility make Cupro Nickel 90/10 studs ideal for marine and offshore bolted connections, especially where long-term exposure to brine, saline, or brackish water is expected.

With a minimum tensile strength of 245 MPa and outstanding resistance to dezincification and hydrogen embrittlement, Cupro Nickel 90/10 studs are widely specified for heat exchanger tube sheets, condenser assemblies, and piping flange connections in shipbuilding, desalination, and coastal power plants.

Material Chemistry

Cupro Nickel 90/10 Chemical Composition

Cupro Nickel 90/10 Studs are manufactured from a copper-nickel alloy with nickel (9–33%), iron (1–2%), and manganese additions per ASTM and MIL-C-15726. Iron additions are essential — they form a protective surface film that resists seawater impingement and erosion-corrosion at flow velocities up to 3.5 m/s in shipboard piping and offshore cooling systems.

Why Cupro Nickel 90/10 Alloy Composition Matters for Studs

Nickel (9–11%) — Seawater Corrosion Resistance
Nickel content in Cupro Nickel 90/10 provides exceptional resistance to seawater corrosion, making these studs ideal for marine and desalination plant applications where stainless steel may fail due to chloride attack.
Iron & Manganese — Strength & Erosion Resistance
Iron and manganese additions improve the alloy’s mechanical strength and resistance to impingement and erosion by fast-flowing seawater, ensuring long service life for bolted joints in piping and heat exchangers.
Low Impurity Levels
Strict limits on lead, phosphorus, and other impurities ensure Cupro Nickel 90/10 studs are safe for potable water and prevent embrittlement or stress corrosion cracking in critical service.
