We are a world-class supplier of engineering raw materials. Our objective is to provide all our customers, from the small machine shop to the large multi-national corporation, a supply path that continuously delivers the highest levels of service, quality and value.
DEF STAN 02-780 (NES780) is a cupronickel alloy (copper-nickel) which contains 70% copper and 30% nickel; this alloy was formally known as CN107.
The alloy includes small additions of iron and manganese to improve resistance to high-velocity seawater. DEF STAN 02-780 (NES780) can be used in more demanding applications than DEF STAN 02-779 (NES779) as it has higher strength once annealed. The alloy naturally produces a protective oxide film (or patina) which prevents marine growth in subsea service. DEF STAN 02-780 (NES780) is easily formed, easily welded and easy to fabricate with good hot and cold working properties.
DEF STAN 02-780 (NES780) Copper Nickel Alloy is a 70/30 copper-nickel with small additions of iron and manganese to improve resistance to high-velocity seawater. It has higher strength and better corrosion resistance when compared with 90/10 alloy but has slightly reduced anti-fouling properties. We offer this material in Grade 1, and it is ultrasonically tested to DEF STAN 02-729 Part 5 Issue 3, supplied with 3.2 certification as standard and to NDE02-05 latest revision.
Commercial applications for this engineering material include:
