Copper Nickel C71500 is also known as 70/30 Alloy because it contains 70% copper, 30% nickel alloy with additions of Fe and Mn which make it’s resistant to corrosion and erosion. C71500 has higher nickel content than that of C70600, making it has better corrosion resistance for marine application, which assures a long and reliable service life for parts in these conditions.
