A new international website explores copper-nickel alloys and provides detailed information and solutions for designers, engineers, fabricators and users of these workhorse alloys.

A new international website explores copper-nickel alloys and provides detailed information and solutions for designers, engineers, fabricators and users of these workhorse alloys.

Copper-nickel alloys are widely used for marine applications due to their excellent resistance to seawater corrosion and biological fouling.

In addition to decades of providing reliable service in such applications, they offer effective solutions to many of today's technological challenges, especially those involving today's cleaner waters and decreased chlorination levels.

Applications examined online include ship building and repair, condensers and heat exchangers, pipes, pumps valves, water boxes, offshore oil and gas process facilities, desalination operations, nuclear and fossil-fuel power generation, protective sheathing, and brake tubing, among others.

The site, www.coppernickel.org, discusses the composition, physical and mechanical properties of each alloy, and their suitability to particular applications.

Applicable standards (EN, ASTM and ISO) are identified for all product forms, along with thorough information on welding and fabrication.

The site features an interactive ship with layers depicting each system and linking to relevant information.

The copper-nickel site is a collaboration of US and European copper centres, including Copper Development Association UK, and is presented as a worldwide resource.
