Testing on Cupronickel

To analyse Cupronickel Alloys chemically, we determine the elemental composition of the alloy. Typically, copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) are the primary constituents, but other elements like iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) may be added to enhance specific properties. 

Copper-Nickel Alloys, also known as Cupronickel Alloys, have a high copper and nickel content. These alloys are extremely resistant to corrosive environments like salt water or conditions with a high oxide content. This makes them particularly valuable in the oil and gas industries. The physical properties of copper-nickel alloys also make them resistant to macrofouling. This means that unwanted materials and organisms like algae and barnacles, which would normally attach to marine structures, ships, and boats, are less likely to do so. By applying a layer of anti-fouling paint or coating, the alloy receives additional protection against these organisms and growths.

Key Benefits

Ensuring Quality

By verifying the elemental composition, manufacturers can maintain product consistency and minimise variations that may affect the alloy’s properties.

Certifying Materials

Gain the necessary data to certify that the alloy complies with industry specifications. Useful for Marine, Engineering, Aerospace industries and much more.

Enhancing Performance and Durability

Ensure that the alloy has the desired composition to meet performance requirements and withstand environmental conditions during use.

Ensuring Safety

Help to identify and mitigate potential risks associated with impurities or deviations from specified compositions that may compromise the integrity of the alloy.

What Tests Do We Perform on Copper Nickel Alloys?

We provide a range of UKAS-accredited analytical testing services for copper-nickel alloys. These services adhere to our in-house procedure and meet the requirements of Naval Engineering Standards (NES) and UK Defence Standards (DEF Stans). 

Chemical Analysis to verify the composition and material grade of copper-nickel alloys using ICP-OES analysis 

Chemical Analysis of cupronickel alloys is essential for ensuring product quality, compliance with industry standards, and the performance of the alloy in various applications, including marine engineering, coinage, electrical components, and heat exchangers. 

We also offer Tensile testing and hardness testing to confirm the mechanical properties of the material, and metallurgical investigations for in-depth analysis of the material’s behaviour. 

UKAS TESTING - BES

UKAS - ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is an accreditation standard for testing and calibration laboratories, and demonstrates our competency to carry out mechanical testing and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) of metals and weldments.
