Bosega Pipes and Tubes stands out as a top-notch manufacturer and supplier of Copper Nickel Mechanical Tubing right in Cape Town, South Africa. They specialize in delivering high-quality tubing solutions that are built to resist corrosion, offer strength, and ensure long-lasting reliability. Copper-nickel alloys are celebrated for their remarkable ability to withstand seawater corrosion, biofouling, and erosion, making them perfect for marine, offshore, and industrial uses. Bosega takes pride in their precision manufacturing, featuring smooth internal surfaces, consistent wall thickness, and tight dimensional tolerances, which results in mechanically robust tubing that performs reliably even under tough pressure and temperature conditions.
When it comes to Copper Nickel Mechanical Tubing, you’ll typically find it made from either Cu-Ni 90/10 (90% copper, 10% nickel) or Cu-Ni 70/30 (70% copper, 30% nickel), with small amounts of iron and manganese added in. This blend gives the tubing excellent mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance in seawater and other harsh environments. On the mechanical side, the tubing boasts high tensile and yield strength, good ductility, and outstanding resistance to erosion and wear, ensuring it lasts in demanding operational settings.
