COPPER NICKEL BOSS
The Copper-Nickel Boss from Nexus Alloys and Steels are made from a copper-nickel alloy, which combines the beneficial properties of both copper and nickel. This alloy is known for its excellent resistance to corrosion and erosion, especially in marine environments. The forging process involves heating the copper-nickel alloy until it’s malleable, then applying high pressure to shape it into the desired form. This process enhances the strength and durability of the Bosses. These Bosses from Nexus Alloys and Steels provide a contoured internal joint with a gradual transition from header to branch allowing full penetration welds while reducing installation costs over tees or other nozzle connections. They are used to connect different sections of a pipe or to adapt different sizes of pipes to each other, providing a tight, leak-proof seal
DESCRIPTION
Copper-nickel forged fitting Bosses typically have a outer shape for easy wrench grip. The interior is hollow and threaded to allow for secure attachment to pipes. Due to their robustness and resistance to corrosive elements, these Bosses are commonly used in industries such as shipbuilding, desalination plants, offshore oil and gas platforms, and power generation
