When is it Best to use Cupronickel?

Beryllium Copper

Beryllium copper is combined with copper to form an alloy, there is widely used in the modern world.

Cupronickel is an alloy that is made up of nickel, iron, and manganese. Cupronickel of often referred too as copper-nickel (because of high copper content), but the final alloy is silver in color. The benefits of this alloy make it widely used in industries like coin minting, desalinization materials, marine engineering, and armaments manufacturing. It is also widely used in environments when electricity, chemicals, or petrochemicals will be present.  The alloy is so commonly used in the above industries because of its inherent ability to resist the corroding effect of seawater. The alloy is used to build piping, heat exchangers, and condensers that are used in seawater devices or systems. Frequently, boats will use the alloy to develop propellers or crankshafts.

beryllium copper

Another benefit of cupronickel is that it is highly ductile, which means that it is easy to manufacture the alloy to fit a variety of product fittings and forms. For instance, it is possible to expand the alloy into tube sheets. For more information about general handling, machining/cutting, and heat treating, please give us a call. Our crew is ready to assist with any issues you have about this or other copper alloys. We alloy specialize in producing beryllium copper wires.

  • Corrosion Resistance and Beryllium Copper Wires
    Beryllium copper alloys, when compared to most other specialty copper alloys, is highly corrosion resistance while in storage, during production, and when used for electrical applications. Beryllium copper wire resists tarnish, which is an essential feature of electronic components that are soldered. To enhance solderability of final parts, engineers use beryllium copper alloys that aew frequently platted with tin.
