Copper-Nickel Pipes
Introduction
Copper-nickel pipes are made from a blend of copper and nickel, offering a combination of high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and good thermal and electrical conductivity. These pipes are widely used in marine environments, chemical processing, and various industrial applications where resistance to seawater and corrosive agents is crucial.
The addition of nickel enhances the corrosion resistance of copper, particularly in harsh environments. This makes copper-nickel pipes ideal for applications involving saltwater or other corrosive substances.
