Cupro Nickel 70/30 Nuts are precision-engineered fastening components manufactured from copper-nickel alloy C71500, designed for high-performance applications in aggressive marine and industrial environments. Known for their exceptional resistance to seawater corrosion, biofouling, and stress corrosion cracking, these nuts are widely used in offshore platforms, shipbuilding, desalination plants, and heat exchanger assemblies.

Compliant with international standards such as ASTM B151, DIN, and ISO specifications, Cupro Nickel 70/30 nuts ensure mechanical integrity even under cyclic loading and saline exposure. Their stable microstructure and resistance to dezincification make them a preferred choice over conventional brass or stainless steel fasteners in marine conditions.
KK Fasteners manufactures these nuts with strict process control and supplies them to global clients across oil & gas, marine engineering, and power generation sectors, offering full traceability and export-grade packaging.

Personalized assistance, prompt responses, and a commitment to meeting your needs, making your purchase process seamless.
Cupro Nickel 70/30 nuts are industrial fasteners made from copper-nickel alloy C71500, consisting of 70% copper and 30% nickel. They are specifically designed for use in corrosive environments, particularly seawater systems, offering excellent resistance to biofouling, stress corrosion cracking, and long-term degradation.
The difference lies in composition and performance. Cupro Nickel 70/30 provides higher strength and superior resistance to erosion and corrosion in high-velocity seawater compared to 90/10, which is better suited for moderate marine conditions and less demanding applications.
Cupro Nickel 70/30 nuts are typically manufactured in accordance with ASTM B151, DIN 934, and ISO 4032 standards. The material conforms to UNS C71500 specifications, ensuring consistent chemical composition and mechanical performance for industrial and marine applications.
These nuts are ideal for offshore platforms, shipbuilding, desalination plants, and marine piping systems where exposure to seawater and chloride-rich environments is constant. They are also used in heat exchangers and condensers due to their resistance to corrosion and scaling.
A reliable supplier should offer ISO-certified manufacturing, full material traceability, and compliance with ASTM/DIN standards. KK Fasteners, for example, provides documented quality checks, export-ready packaging, and supports global supply requirements for industrial buyers.
Cupro Nickel 70/30 nuts offer a reliable solution for demanding marine and industrial environments where corrosion resistance and mechanical strength are non-negotiable. With controlled manufacturing processes and global export experience, KK Fasteners supports project-specific requirements with consistent quality and traceability.
