This alloy has the ability to form a protective layer on its surface while exposed in the fresh water. These valves also can operate in the high-velocity fluids with lower corrosion rates. This layer also works in marine environments. These valves are ideal for industrial pressure applications and designers choose them for its durability, machinability, sturdy finish, and robust design.
The copper and nickel base alloy has the superior property of formability and fabricability that makes it easier to manufacture with standard machines associated with this grade. The machining operations are similar to other copper and nickel base alloys. This reduces its machining costs.
Usually, we consider both the hot and cold working process to manufacture these valves. After the manufacturing process, these are induced in the hot working or annealing process. These processes are done to increase the stability and strength of the valves. The cold working operations are used to retain higher mechanical properties while preventing brittleness. Cupro Nickel 90/10 valves are processed to the finishing process to receive precise dimensions.
