COPPER NICKEL FORGED FITTINGS

Nexus Alloys and Steel is a renowned manufacturer and exporter that has gained recognition for producing top-notch Copper Nickel Forged Fittings, which are highly regarded for their exceptional resistance to corrosion. These precision-crafted fittings exhibit remarkable durability and performance, as they can withstand both high temperatures and extreme cold. With a composition of 10% Nickel, 1.4% Iron, and 0.80% Manganese, they stand out in terms of their long-lasting nature

Copper Nickel Forged Socket Weld Fittings, which are ideal for use in seawater environments, typically contain 10-30% Nickel along with significant amounts of Manganese and Iron. This unique combination ensures excellent resistance to corrosion, particularly in challenging marine conditions. Moreover, these fittings provide reliable protection to Copper-Nickel pipe flanges against non-oxidizing acids found in organic compounds, briny water, saltwater, and diluted hazardous acids

COPPER NICKEL FORGED FITTINGS

Description

Forged fittings play a crucial role in piping systems due to their strength, durability, and ability to withstand high-pressure applications. These fittings are manufactured using a forging process that involves shaping metal under intense heat and pressure. As a result of this process, the end product is robust and reliable. As a leading manufacturer of copper nickel forged fittings, we prioritize quality and precision as our differentiating factors. Copper nickel is an alloy known for its corrosion resistance properties which makes it an excellent choice for demanding environments such as marine and industrial settings
