Typically, Copper Nickel Square Bars are made from a copper-nickel alloy, often featuring a 90/10 or 70/30 copper-to-nickel ratio, which strikes a perfect balance between strength and corrosion resistance. This alloy is particularly resistant to seawater corrosion, biofouling, and erosion, making it an excellent choice for challenging environments. Mechanically, these bars offer good tensile strength, moderate hardness, and exceptional ductility, which allows for versatile fabrication and machining. They also maintain stability under thermal stress and resist scaling at high temperatures, ensuring reliable performance in demanding applications where durability and workability are crucial.
