Copper Nickel Threaded Rod

Copper Nickel Threaded Rod
Copper Nickel Threaded Rod are an ideal mixture of copper and nickel with additions of manganese and ferrous contents like iron which when combined together fight seawater corrosion. Cupro nickel fasteners and copper nickel fasteners are the most common trade names used in the fastener industry. It is used in marine seawater applications show excessive resistance towards corrosions and are often used for its unique feature of thermal stability.
Copper Nickel Threaded Rod are available in two variations viz 70-30 (C70600) and 90-10( C71500 ) .C70600 Copper nickel is stronger as of the two with a yield strength of 150 Mpa in annealed condition as compared to 120 Mpa of C75100 Copper Nickel. Especially in case of cupro nickel 70-30 bolts as compared to copper nickel 70-10 bolts where tensile is the deciding factor due to high level of corrosion in marine applications. Torqbolt is a well known Copper Nickel Threaded Rod supplier in India.

Copper Nickel Alloys are well known worldwide with different trade names and unique numbers. Following chart shows the exact equivalent designations corresponding to the cross reference of copper nickel alloys.

Marine Usage
Due to excellent resistance towards marine water corrosion, more than 90% it used in the marine industry with attachments of copper nickel flanges, pipes and fittings. Salt water flanged connections are very well protected with copper nickel bolts set with cupro nickel nut and washers. Propeller shafts, distiller tubes, ferrule fittings all are attached with cupro nickel screws with nuts as a pair.

Automotive Use
Copper nickel bolts are quite famous for automotive components like the steering tube and brake lines.
Fabrication
Copper Nickel Studs used for pressure vessels, heat exchangers, condenser plates, valve bodies and evaporators are very much in demand.
