  • 70/30 Cupronickel
    70/30 cupronickel www.columbiametals.com CN107 / C71500 / CW354H / DEF STAN 02-780 [email protected] 70/30 is a copper nickel alloy noted for its excellent resistance to corrosion, erosion and pitting combined with a good strength, workability and weldability. It has enjoyed a long and successful history in the marine sector that has since extended to industries including offshore oil and gas, power generation, desalination and cooling plants. 70/30 cupronickel The most popular specifications covering this alloy are the CN107 and C71500 designations, although the Naval Engineering specifications DEF STAN 02-780 or NES 780 offer tighter controls on impurities and mechanical properties together with a mandatory impact value. 70/30 is best renowned for its excellent corrosion and erosion resistance, especially in marine environments. Its corrosion resistance is improved in higher velocity waters (up to 4.5m/s) and polluted seawater. It is also highly resistant to stress corrosion cracking and corrosion fatigue and has a high retention of mechanical properties from sub-zero temperatures to ~300oC. In the annealed condition, 70/30 offers moderate strength levels which enable it to be used in more demanding applications. In addition, it displays inherent resistance to biofouling. A protective oxide film forms naturally over the material during the initial period of use, creating an inhospitable surface that deters marine growth. 70/30 responds well to most fabrication processes and is readily hot and cold worked. It is also easily joined by soldering, brazing and a variety of welding methods. With good hot and cold formability and a malleability approaching that of copper, 70/30 does not harden rapidly, lending the material to drawing and spinning.

Stonea a Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge, 27 Charles Babbage Road, Cambridge CB3 0FS, UK b School of Materials, The University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PL, UK ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Cupronickel alloys, reinforced by L12 precipitates, offer a high strength, corrosion resistant and anti-bio fouling Copper alloys material for marine engineering applications. These alloys exhibit complex precipitate nucleation and growth L12 phase mechanisms that must be fully understood in order to optimise the mechanical properties. In this work, the Microstructure microstructural characteristics of the Cu-Ni-Al based alloy, Hiduron® 130, have been assessed in the as-received SEM condition and following 100-h thermal exposures at 500, 600, 700 and 900 °C and after a two-stage exposure at TEM 900 °C for 100 h followed by 500 °C for 100 h. The L1 phase was observed to precipitate both discontinuously XRD 2 and continuously and its subsequent coarsening was characterised alongside measurements of the lattice misfit. The hardness of the alloy was found to decrease with increasing exposure temperature up to the L12 solvus and correlated with the evolution of the L12 precipitates, the alloy grain size and the fraction of the discontinuously formed L12 phase.

  • Brass & Bronze
    The Care and Preservation of Historical Brass and Bronze By Clara Deck, Conservator Revisions by Cuong T. Nguyen, Conservator, The Henry Ford INTRODUCTION Historical brass and bronze can be maintained for years of use and enjoyment provided that some basic care and attention is given to its preservation. The conservation staff at The Henry Ford has compiled the information in this fact sheet to help individuals care for their objects and collections. The first step in the care of collections is to understand and minimize or eliminate conditions that can cause damage. The second step is to follow basic guidelines for care, handling and cleaning. NOTE: This Information Sheet will present a brief overview of the care of brass and bronze objects, stressing appropriate storage and handling as the best means of preservation. It does not address the serious problem of preserving archaeological metals excavated from land or marine sites. People who collect un-conserved archaeological artifacts should be aware that they might be unstable if they do not receive appropriate conservation treatment. It is not within the scope of this document to address all the problems associated with outdoor bronze sculptures. This information sheet may provide some useful information for the care of these objects, but we encourage consultation with a professional conservator on such complicated artifacts. IDENTIFYING BRASS AND BRONZE ARTIFACTS Brass and bronze are alloys of copper. (Two or more metals are combined to form an alloy. Alloys generally have a different appearance or working properties that is dependent on their percent composition.) There are other alloys of copper include gunmetal (red brass), bell metal, and German silver, also called Nickel silver and "paktong".
