Copper Nickel (CuNi) rod bars, specifically with DIN 17664 specifications, are high-performance alloys typically composed of 70% copper and 30% nickel. This composition may include trace amounts of iron and manganese to enhance mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. CuNi rod bars are engineered for heat transfer applications where durability, corrosion resistance, and efficient thermal conductivity are essential. The high copper content ensures excellent heat and electrical conductivity, while nickel improves resistance to seawater corrosion, oxidation, and biofouling, making it a preferred choice for marine, industrial, and power generation environments.

Applications

• Condenser and heat exchanger tubing

• Marine piping systems and seawater circulation lines

• Industrial cooling equipment and power plant heat transfer systems

• Offshore platform structural components exposed to saline water

• Instrumentation and control rods in thermal systems
