As offshore energy projects, desalination plants, and naval construction increase globally, the use of copper-nickel alloys continues to grow. Materials that balance cost with corrosion resistance are particularly in demand. CuNi2 8 23 fills this niche by offering durability for moderate marine and industrial conditions while remaining economical for large-scale projects.
CuNi2 8 23 is ideal for moderate environments, offering a balance of performance and cost. Compared with CuNi14, it has lower nickel content and is more suitable for less aggressive seawater exposure. CuNi19 and CuNi34 provide higher strength and corrosion resistance, suitable for extreme conditions but at higher costs. Selecting the right alloy depends on project requirements, exposure levels, and budget considerations.
