ASTM B171 / ASME SB171 C70600 Copper Nickel Ring CuNi 90/10 Forged Ring

ASTM B171 Copper Nickel UNS C70600 Forged Ring ASME SB171 CuNi 90/10 Ring for Heat Exchanger 
 
 

 
 
The usage of ASTM B171 C70600 Nickel Alloy Forged Ring:

1. Seawater Corrosion Resistance: It doesn't rust and forms a protective, self-healing surface layer.

2. Erosion Resistance: It withstands the scouring effect of fast-moving, sand-filled seawater better than most materials.

3. Biofouling Resistance: It slows the growth of barnacles and slime, which can clog pipes and reduce efficiency.

4. Excellent Weldability and Fabrication: It can be easily welded and joined to itself and steel, which is essential for complex piping systems.

Application

• Seawater Piping Systems: Forged rings are used to manufacture flanges, fittings, and connectors for fire mains, cooling lines, and ballast systems.

• Heat Exchangers and Condensers: The rings form the critical connection points (end plates and channels) in equipment that cools seawater.

• Shipbuilding: Used in the construction of seawater intake and discharge lines, as well as for components in desalination plants onboard vessels.

• Offshore Platforms: Utilized in splash-zone components and seawater lift pump stations where corrosion is most aggressive.

• Cooling Water Intake Systems: They serve as structural and connecting components in the large-diameter pipes that bring seawater into the plant.
