Copper-Nickel UNS-C70600

Cu-Ni alloys have a single-phase structure throughout the complete range of compositions and many standard alloys are available with small variations in their element composition for special applications. The earliest application of Cu-Ni alloy was for marine condenser tubes and presently it has many uses. Apart from their usage in coinage and wire mesh, Cu-Ni alloys containing 10 to 30% nickel with iron and manganese additions (C70600 and C71500) are also used for marine applications.

Conclusion

C46400 is a lead-free naval brass designed for primary forming into wrought products. C46400 is the UNS designation while CW712R is the EN designation. Offering good strength and rigidity, the addition of tin gives the alloy improved corrosion resistance and resistance to dezincification. Therefore, C46400 is far less susceptible to the effects of saltwater corrosion. With other notable benefits such as wear, fatigue and galling resistance, the alloy also provides good resistance to stress corrosion cracking (SCC).
