Product Overview
Cupro Nickel 70/30 nuts are corrosion-resistant fasteners manufactured from a copper-nickel alloy containing 70% copper and 30% nickel, designated as UNS C71500. These nuts are produced from ASTM B151 or B122 bar and rod, offering excellent resistance to seawater, brine, and non-oxidizing acids. The addition of iron and manganese enhances their strength and imparts superior resistance to impingement and erosion corrosion, making them ideal for marine and offshore applications.
Cupro Nickel 70/30 nuts are widely specified for use in heat exchangers, condenser tube sheets, shipbuilding, and desalination plants, where long-term durability and immunity to biofouling are critical. They are available in hex, heavy hex, and lock nut configurations, conforming to international standards such as DIN 934, ISO 4032, and ASME B18.2.2.
