Brian Fasteners, based in Houston, USA, is a reliable supplier and manufacturer of Copper Nickel 70/30 Forgings, specifically designed for harsh marine and chemical environments. The 70/30 alloy, made up of 70% copper and 30% nickel with added iron and manganese, offers strong seawater corrosion resistance, erosion, and biofouling. Brian Fasteners delivers custom-forged parts with high dimensional accuracy and excellent mechanical performance. These forgings are commonly used in high-pressure and high-temperature marine and industrial systems, where long-lasting corrosion resistance and structural stability are crucial.
Copper Nickel 70/30 alloy contains around 70% copper, 30% nickel, 0.4% to 1.0% iron, and 0.4% to 1.0% manganese. Mechanical properties include tensile strength between 400 and 500 MPa, yield strength from 150 to 220 MPa, and elongation between 30% and 40%. It provides outstanding resistance to corrosion and erosion in saltwater and brackish environments. This alloy is thermally stable and maintains performance across a wide temperature range. It is non-magnetic and offers good fabricability and weldability, making it ideal for marine and industrial applications.
