Marine and offshore industries face harsh environments where materials are constantly exposed to seawater and high-velocity fluids. Traditional materials often fail due to rapid corrosion, leading to costly maintenance and downtime. Copper-nickel alloys, particularly CuNi23, provide a sustainable solution.
The demand for copper-nickel alloys is steadily growing due to the rise in offshore energy projects, desalination facilities, and naval expansion worldwide. CuNi23 strikes a balance between cost and performance, offering stronger corrosion resistance than CuNi1 4 and CuNi19 while being more affordable than CuNi34. This positioning makes it an attractive option for industries that require reliability without overspending.

Offshore Platforms – Structural components, pipelines, and risers exposed to seawater.
Shipbuilding – Condensers, pumps, and heat exchangers in naval and commercial vessels.
Desalination Plants – Piping and evaporator systems that continuously handle seawater.
Power Generation – Cooling water systems in coastal power plants.
Chemical Processing – Equipment exposed to corrosive liquids and moderate temperatures.
Defense Applications – Submarine components and naval hardware requiring superior durability.
As global energy demand increases, offshore oil, gas, and renewable energy projects are expanding rapidly. This trend drives the demand for corrosion-resistant materials like CuNi23. Additionally, the global push toward water security has spurred growth in desalination plants, another major consumer of copper-nickel alloys.
Naval investments by many countries also highlight the growing importance of copper-nickel alloys, particularly in applications where both durability and reliability are critical. CuNi23 remains at the center of this growth, offering a balanced solution for cost and performance.
Compared to CuNi14 and CuNi19, CuNi23 has higher nickel content, providing enhanced corrosion resistance and biofouling resistance. This makes it more suitable for aggressive seawater and offshore applications. While CuNi34 offers the highest corrosion resistance, it comes at a significantly higher cost, which may not be necessary for all projects. CuNi23 offers the “sweet spot” for many industries, combining performance with economic efficiency.
