CuNi30 Strip for Corrosion-Resistant Marine Heat Exchanger Fins
Our CuNi30 strip is a total rockstar for corrosion-resistant marine heat exchanger fins, built to handle the brutal saltwater environment without breaking a sweat. This copper-nickel alloy, with about 70% copper, 30% nickel, and traces of iron and manganese, is our go-to for applications where corrosion resistance and efficient heat transfer are critical. Whether it’s fins, tube sheets, or structural components in seawater-cooled heat exchangers, this strip keeps your systems running smoothly.
What makes CuNi30 strip stand out is its incredible ability to resist seawater corrosion and biofouling. High-flow saltwater or stagnant coastal waters? No problem. It’s perfect for heat exchanger fins, fighting off pitting, erosion, and marine organism buildup to ensure long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. This strip keeps your heat exchangers efficient, delivering top-notch thermal performance in harsh marine conditions.
This strip’s versatility is a big win. It’s stable up to 500°C, which is plenty for marine heat exchangers operating at moderate temperatures, like those in ship engines or coastal power plants. Its high thermal conductivity (~40 W/m·K) ensures excellent heat transfer, and its good mechanical strength means it can handle stress without cracking. From commercial vessels to offshore platforms, CuNi30 delivers.
We love how easy this strip is to work with. Its excellent formability makes it a breeze to stamp, bend, or shape into whatever your fin design needs—think thin, high-efficiency fins or sturdy tube sheets. Need a specific width, thickness, or finish? We can tailor it to fit your specs, ensuring smooth manufacturing and keeping your project on track.

Plus, our hands-on support means you’re always covered—whether it’s technical guidance or a custom solution, we make it happen.
Compared to other materials, our CuNi30 strip is a clear winner. CuNi44 is great for high-resistance applications but less effective in seawater compared to CuNi30. Stainless steel 316 is tough but struggles with chloride corrosion in saltwater, unlike CuNi30. Pure copper’s a conductivity champ but corrodes fast in marine environments. Our strip is the go-to for corrosion-resistant marine heat exchanger fins.
