Why choose ABRATIG CuNi30 filler metal?

Choosing ABRATIG CuNi30 (also known as CuNi 70/30) means you want to weld a copper-nickel alloy that is highly resistant to marine corrosion and harsh environments, with very specific metallurgical properties. It’s a high-end wire for demanding technical applications.

  1. Nickel-rich composition (~30%)

Nickel greatly improves :

-Mechanical resistance

-Stress corrosion resistance

-Thermal stability

  1. Excellent resistance to marine environments

Well superior to CuNi10 (90/10) for :

High-speed seawater

Highly saline or impure environments

Submerged applications or applications in prolonged contact with water

Resists crevice corrosion, pitting and biofouling

  1. Good TIG weldability

Clean, stable fusion with little spatter

Compatible with:CuNi30, CuNi10 and certain copper alloys

Sometimes dissimilar welding (subject to thermal and chemical compatibility)

Enables tight, strong, highly durable welds over the long term

  1. Balanced physical properties

Good thermal conductivity, good electrical conductivity

Resists thermal expansion, ideal for complex systems

Good resistance to temperature variations and thermal cycling
