Copper Brass Copper Nickel Welded Tubes

Copper, Brass & Copper-Nickel Welded Tubes Manufacturer & Exporter – INOX STEEL INDIA

INOX STEEL INDIA is a trusted supplier of Copper, Brass and Copper-Nickel (Cu-Ni) Welded Tubes, engineered for marine service, desalination, HVAC, offshore platforms, heat exchangers, and power plant cooling systems.

Cu-Ni alloys — especially 90/10 and 70/30 — are world-standard materials used for seawater cooling, condensers, heat exchangers, brine systems and marine hardware due to their exceptional seawater corrosion resistance, anti-biofouling characteristics, high thermal conductivity, superior erosion resistance, and long service life.

All tubes are produced as per ASTM B466 / B467, TIG-welded, bead-controlled, pickled, and tested for dimensional accuracy & corrosion performance.

What Are Copper & Copper-Nickel Welded Tubes?

Copper-Nickel welded tubes are fabricated from copper-nickel alloy strip/plate, precision-formed into tubes and welded using TIG or Plasma welding.

Key Performance Benefits

  • Outstanding resistance to seawater corrosion
  • Anti-biofouling behavior
  • High resistance to erosion-corrosion
  • Superior thermal conductivity
  • Excellent formability & weldability

Grade Breakdown

Cu-Ni 90/10 (C70600)

  • 90% Copper + 10% Nickel
  • Excellent corrosion resistance in seawater
  • Natural anti-fouling behavior
  • Ideal for condensers, coolers & marine systems

Cu-Ni 70/30 (C71500)

  • 70% Copper + 30% Nickel
  • Higher strength & corrosion resistance
  • Excellent performance in high-velocity seawater
  • Used in offshore & desalination plants
