CuNi30
SLM / Metal · Copper · Copper alloy
Pure copper offers excellent conductivity but lacks strength and corrosion resistance in harsh environments. CuNi30 contains about 30% nickel, which gives excellent resistance to seawater corrosion, stress cracking and biofouling, making it suitable for heat exchangers, piping and marine or offshore components.
