Home > Copper Nickel > Copper Nickel ERW Pipes
Copper Nickel ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) pipes are top-notch alloy pipes primarily crafted from copper and nickel, specifically designed to withstand the harsh conditions of seawater corrosion, biofouling, and erosion. Companies like Bosega Pipes & Tubes in Cape Town, South Africa, are known for manufacturing and supplying these pipes, which are made using the electric resistance welding process. This method guarantees strong, precise, and seamless joints. With their remarkable mechanical strength, thermal stability, and smooth internal finish, Copper Nickel ERW pipes are perfect for marine, offshore, and heat transfer applications where reliability and corrosion resistance are a must.
Typically, these pipes consist of 90% copper and 10% nickel (Cu-Ni 90/10) or 70% copper and 30% nickel (Cu-Ni 70/30), with small amounts of iron and manganese added to boost strength and resistance to seawater impingement. The alloy boasts a tensile strength between 275 to 450 MPa, a yield strength of 105 to 180 MPa, and elongation rates ranging from 30% to 45%. The ERW manufacturing process creates a uniform weld bead without the need for filler materials, ensuring consistent mechanical properties and smooth, corrosion-resistant surfaces that optimize fluid flow and performance.
