Dhruv Metals, Hyderabad, produces and provides high-performance Copper Nickel Hex Bars renowned for superior corrosion resistance, particularly in marine and saltwater environments. Offered in Cu-Ni grades like 90/10 and 70/30, these hexagonal bars are manufactured to ASTM B151 and B122 specifications, providing high mechanical properties, weldability, and formability. These bars find applications in marine, condenser, and heat exchanger components. With a smooth finish and accurate tolerance management, Dhruv Metals supplies copper nickel hex bars for machining into fasteners, flanges, and marine equipment components that need strength and seawater corrosion resistance.
Copper Nickel Hex Bars are generally 70–90% Cu and 10–30% Ni with a presence of added Fe and Mn for strengthening. In annealed state, they provide tensile strength of 275–500 MPa, yield strength ~150–250 MPa, and elongation of 30–40%. They possess good thermal stability and corrosion resistance, particularly in seawater as well as in mildly acidic environments. Their thermal conductivity (~30–50 W/m·K) and electrical conductivity (~10–20% IACS) enable multifunctionality. The bars are non-magnetic and possess very good anti-biofouling properties and hence are suitable for marine application parts resistant to scaling and corrosion.
