Copper Nickel 90/10, often referred to as Cupronickel is a copper alloy that contains 90% copper and 10% nickel, along with small amounts of iron and manganese. This alloy is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high thermal conductivity, and remarkable durability, making it a popular choice for various industrial applications. One of the common forms in which Copper Nickel 90/10 is utilized is in the manufacturing of pipes.

Composition and Properties of Cupro-Nickel 90/10 Pipes:

Copper Nickel 90/10 alloy combines the beneficial properties of both copper and nickel. The 90% copper content imparts good conductivity, while the 10% nickel enhances corrosion resistance, particularly in marine environments. The alloy is also known for its resistance to biofouling, making it suitable for use in seawater applications.

Corrosion Resistance of Copper Nickel 90/10 Pipes:

One of the key features of Copper Nickel 90/10 pipes is their exceptional corrosion resistance. This property is especially crucial in industries where the pipes are exposed to harsh environments, such as marine and offshore oil and gas applications. The alloy forms a protective layer on its surface, preventing corrosion and ensuring a long service life for the pipes.

Applications of Copper Nickel 90/10 Pipes:

Copper Nickel 90/10 pipes find extensive applications in various industries due to their unique combination of properties. Some notable applications include:

Marine Engineering: These pipes are widely used in the construction of ship hulls, offshore platforms, and other marine structures due to their resistance to corrosion in saltwater environments.

Power Generation: The alloy's high thermal conductivity makes it suitable for heat exchanger and condenser tubes in power plants, improving overall efficiency.

Desalination Plants: Copper Nickel 90/10 pipes are utilized in desalination plants where resistance to corrosive seawater is critical for the longevity of the infrastructure.

Chemical Processing: The corrosion-resistant nature of these pipes makes them ideal for conveying various chemicals in industrial processes.

Oil and Gas Industry: In offshore oil and gas installations, where exposure to harsh environmental conditions is common, Copper Nickel 90/10 pipes are preferred for their durability.

Copper Nickel 90/10 Pipe Manufacturing Process

The Rolling and Welding Stage

To begin our process, we first need to go through the rolling and welding stage. The stainless steel is placed through a checking process and cut at the edges in this stage.

Cleaning and Warming Stage

The rolled stainless steel pipes thus manufactured are cut to the required lengths depending upon the industrial demand.

Cold-Drawing Stage

Sometimes, the required size isn’t obtained when the steel is brought through the mill directly. When using the cold-drawing process, the desired size is achieved when the pipes and tubing are coated with oxalic and soap solution and dragged over die plugs—the oxalic and soap solution help reduce friction when going through the cold cycle.

The Finishing Process

The final process is the finisher. Once the process of manufacturing stainless steel pipes and tubing is completed, you’ll now have to take them to a jet printer.
